Engine is made to run high RPM - changing sprockets will to lower RPM will put in a no Power / Torque situation. More info needed on what you mean by high RPM and intended use / speed you are referring to. stock gearing is very good!! - 15 front and 38 rear I believe. Previous owner of my nighthawk put a 17 front sprocket unrideable around town!!!

I do a lot of highway riding that is 75mph, would a 16 tooth be alright balance between the stock and the 17?
