I have a 2020 RC390.
I found this message: https://www.rc390-forum.com/threads/front-sprocket.2664/#post-31673
This is very useful. My question is more about practical experience. This bike feels geared too short. 1st gear is just too low, even for the street. Then there's the problem of a long straight at my track where I will probably top out in 6th. So I was going to go to 16T front.
The thread says this can cause rubbing on the front sprocket cover, but maybe not always. Maybe it's not a problem on newer bikes?
If anyone has gone to just a 16T front sprocket, I'd like to hear about it. Plenty of chain adjustment? Does it clear? How does it work on the street?
Thanks.
