First gear is fine; much better than what the RX3 comes with, in my opinion.
I wouldn't bother with a larger rear sprocket. Your problem is simply inexperience on a motorcycle. What will help is practice - lots of practice, in a parking lot, out of traffic. It always helps to blip the throttle just before feeding in some clutch, to get the engine revs up and avoid stalling it. It's that same annoying thing (to car drivers, anyway) that you are always seeing motorcyclists do at traffic lights that they are waiting for. Find an empty parking lot and start doing start from a stop drills. Stop, give the throttle a quick, short twist and give it some clutch to get going. Come to a stop and do it again. It will come pretty quick, once you get the hang and feel of the controls on the bike.
