Had a question regarding sprockets

Hello all, new fz6r owner here, I've had mine for about a month now. I had one issue with the bike, I like to ride at highway speeds and I find the gearing to be a little too short for my liking. I've read you can change one or both of the sprockets and get a little taller gearing? does anyone know the stock sprocket sizes and which ones I would need to achieve a little lower highway RPMs without getting a new chain as well?

Thank you!

Your factory sprocket configuration is 16/46. You would probably enjoy going up one tooth on your front sprocket, to a 17. It'll tame your highway RPMs and correct for your factory speedo error, too.
