Help me buy new sprocket/chain setup


OK.... So I have an 03 triumph speed four. This is the longest I've ever owned a bike without selling and getting a different one. It's also the first time I've worn out a chain.I'd like to replace stock with a slightly larger rear sprocket to get the chain up and off the swingarm a bit (yes, it's adjusted correctly, the bike just has a known issue with the chain having a bit too much contact with the top of the swingarm). I don't mind gaining the low end power at the expense of top end, I'm never running 150 mph anyways. I have exactly zero idea of how to find the right chain size and sprocket size unless I just stick with stock. The numbers and ratios are foreign to me. Any help from the gurus out there?As far as riding style, I mainly commute on this bike. I do plan on keeping this one for a long time, so I'd rather not cheap out.Just counted sprocket teeth. Front is 15, rear 45https://m.imgur.com/Se3eXdU via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/cwxu71/help_me_buy_new_sprocketchain_setup/?utm_source=ifttt
