I'm going to order a chain and sprocket kit today. I want to go with
good quality. The price seems good at the place linked below but what
about the quality. If you have any first hand knowledge of this kit, or
some other place, please reply. My chain got considerably worse the
last 100 miles. Thanks in advance.

I replaced one of these chain and sprocket kits on a customers bike recently. The front sprocket is a two piece affair that has an extra spacer. I find it hard to believe that this front sprocket was made specifically for the KLR. The chain was toast in about 4000 miles according to my customer.
I think the old addage that you get what you pay for is true in this case.

Greetings,
Thanks for all the help. One fellow recommended Eagle Mike, but I could not get his web site to come up. I wound up ordering off Ebay. Here is the ULR:
Kawasaki KLR 650 90-09 15/43 Chain/Sprocket Combo
Item# 390070549854
Did I do ok?

Subject: KLR HEAD AND CYLINDER FOR SALE
I accidently bought a 1987 KLR 650 head and cylinder off e-bay. I only want $125.00 for both of them. The cylinder has a fresh hone on it. This will not work on my 2003, but will work a 1995 and older (I checked the part numbers on line). First response and they are yours.
