So I geared mine up when I rode the Iron Butt 1000 I did a few years back. Totally worthless on the roads I rode because to many hills and wind. Oregon, Idaho. I was always downshifting into 4th or 5th to get over hills or get out of traffics way. I think I went down 2 teeth on the rear sprocket.
On level ground it may be OK . Stock 6th gear is almost overdrive and I found the stock RX3 geared about as high as I would want to go IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS. YMMV

If someone needs a rear sprocket to gear it up and give it a try...……..hows $5 plus shipping? I think it's a 42T but would need to dig it out and confirm. rj
