Aprilia's own parts manual lists it as 38 x52 x 7 - but that might have just been a typo that has been carried over and now corrected in later literature ............ so, TBH it's not very clear.

The seal on the sprocket carrier is 55mm outside diameter.
I was just getting all this stuff sorted out to put new bearings in one and the guy at SKF gave me the 52mm one I asked for and it didn't fit, quick measure with the callipers and sure enough the Aprilia book has a misprint.
The bearing size further down the list confirms this at 55 OD

Try going to Gear commander

I don't think you would want a 17T at the front.
It'll be like a bone shaker and acceleration will be v poor

Look at Wemoto for sprockets, big choice of plus or minus sizes on both front and rear sprockets
