I agree. Perhaps a change of sprockets could tame the high revs and the close gear spacing.

Ninja 300 sprockets = 14/42

X-300 sprockets .....= 14/46

And according to a mega-thread on the Ninja 300 Forum, even with the 14/42 gearing, many are putting on a 15 tooth front sprocket.

The X-300 may be fine for many....it isn't for me.
