I weigh 200 pounds even and when I'm riding my 300 in the final gear (6th I believe) I'm going 50-60mph and my RPMs are at 5500-6500 is that ok or what? I don't want to wear anything out, just wondering if that type of rpm is normal or not for 6th gear going about 50-60

Stock gearing is 14 front/ 42rear (almost sure), so the ratio is 3:1
Going +1 in the front or -3 in the rear, will have a similar effect, which is a tighter ratio (around 7%). So for the same rpm's the rear wheel will spin faster. Or for the same rear wheel speed, the rpm's will be lower.
Going -1 in the front or +3 in the rear will have the opposite effect.
Before buying gears, make sure you're able to remove the front sprocket. It's really stubborn. I couldn't get mine off.
You can still play with the rear sprocket. That one is not that hard to pull out.
