there's really no need to talk to nizzo or anyone else the answers are here! the great and the good are at UHE gentlemen!!!
13/51 is way too short and first gear coming into a corner? wow! like watching a kid fall off his first bike! should easily be comfortable with 14/51 in all conditions and even on steep slopes.
your carburation is out fella so gerrit sorted. the fuel screw underneath makes the bu=iggest difference so get off your arse and adjust it. then go for better jetting settings and maybe a different needle.
PM me for some jetting advice if you want.

Chill out guys!!! Can you stop for a bit?
About the topic: I heard that 13 T sprocket very quickly kill your swingarm chain protection.In my berg Fe400, I've got 14/52, so equally gives same ratio than OEM 13/48.And it wanted a bit longer chain.I did it in that way, just to save swingarm protector.The ratio is fine for me, good for tight riding among the trees.

ok boys, from thesaurus:
plebeian
common people, folk, folks - people in general (often used in the plural); "they're just country folk"; "folks around here drink moonshine"; "the common people determine the group character and preserve its customs from one generation to the next"

I too ride steep rocky rooty terrain and have run a 51 rear for some time. Sometimes with a 13 front and sometimes with a 14.
I got the bike with a 14 and it needed switching and I wanted to try lower gearing.
The first 13 wore out real quick. The chain slide was also worn but old too so not really an issue for me. I like the 13 cos I can pull 2nd gear alot of the time and this seems to get me more traction.
Then I switched back to a 14 and found I prefered the 13 so now I have a 13.
The 51 rear means I have to silightly mod the chain guide block to drop the rear end below the sprocket rim. I have been running an ironman rear for 100 hrs. Not really much sign of wear yet. 8O

my opinions on gearing are well recorded but might be forgotten.... you need the engine to decel the bike so that you drop into the corners JUST right. if you have 15/51 and turn up at a corner, close thethrottle, change gear and try to throw the bike down you will simply miss the corner and ride over the berm.
if you have 13/51 gearing you will turn up at the corner and the engine braking will be so great that the bike falls on it's side as you enter the berm and infact you ride up the inside of it or fall off!
14/51 is spot on and will make you a better rider which is what its all about.
well i think so, but a bit like jetting, you turn your bike and everyone has gone rich and changed the friggin gearing yet again!!!!!
