When I dropped a tooth up front, it was definitely easier to take off without as much clutch slip. I don't want to say that top end suffered but it wasn't as comfy at freeway speeds.....not that the RX3 is very comfy at freeway speeds anyway.

Mrs. 2LZ likes the 13 tooth and stock rear sprocket on her RX3. I went back to a 14 and put the 45(?) on the rear. For how and where we ride (and my particular girth), it's perfect.
