    '15 FE350 with JD Tuner.
    Gearing is stock at 13/52.


    2nd is a little too high revving & jumpy
    3rd is a bit too tall & luggy.

    Have you tried 51 vs. 53 T

    13/50 imo. That's what my buddy likes and then he swaps a 14t for dualsport stuff. Earplugs help you forget about the rpm issues. The 350 is a screamer by design.

    I've had a similar dilema. Stock was 14/52 (European spec bike) but I've changed to the 13 which came with the bike. I've also read that 13/50 (Antoine Meo's setup) is pretty good and allows a 112 link chain (from memory), which means you can get the rear wheel back on the adjusters to get better traction. My chain also seems to have stretched a lot in the first 250 miles so if I get a 50 tooth rear I'll be getting a decent / better chain.
