I have an 05 KLR 650, I have had it about 6 weeks. I changed the front sprocket from 15 tooth to 14 a tooth. I dident get the power I was wanting with the 14 tooth. Now I am looking to change the rear sprocket but cant find a selection of sprockets. If anyone knows of a site where I can find any sprockets, let me know thanks I found a 47 tooth rear JTSprocket at throttlehead.com. Along with the 14Tooth front, it helps a little more and is a lot better. You do have to get a longer chain, at least if you ride in a lot of mud. The stock chain with Karoo's worked for me, but only had about 1/8th" clearance. Fine for dirt and sand, but caused the swingarm to act as a large scraper in mud. It packed the whole area around the shock with it. I went to a 110 link chain and it still gets mud there, but not near as much.

Just got back from a ride in high country Colorado and feel like my gearing is still too high. I dropped my countershaft sprocket from a 15 (stock) to a 14 as was recommended for high and steep off road. My problem is I am a big guy and carry alot of luggage and I still seem to be gaining too much momentum on descents. Riding the rear brakes has only resulted in boiling fluid which requires cooling time. In some cases, I hit 4000 RPMs during descents. My question is about the possibility of increasing the size of my rear sprocket. I can't find anyone that discusses this possibility and suggests what size rear. Anybody got any advice for my KLR? Thanks, Al

Al, I found a 47T at www.throttlehead.com. It's by JTSprockets. I'm running it with a 14T front. Works great for the tight stuff, but it will make it turn some rpms at freeway speed.

I was running 14/45 for awhile, but getting anywhere on pavement sucked.. so I returned to the OEM 43 tooth rear and left the 14 on the front. Ran 15/45- ok, 14/45- fun offroad at least, 15/43 seems to be a happy mix for me. Dooden A15 Green Ape

Al, I'm using a 14/46 combo and very happy with it. But, the 46 isn't available in the states, I got mine from Australia. I suggest you try a 45 rear from JT Sprockets. That's the same maker of my 46 but the 45 tooth is available here. I think you may also be able to get a 47 tooth in the states but I think that would too large a jump unless you were only riding at speeds less than probably 60 mph. You'll need to increase the chain length a couple of links too. I think stock is 106 links and I think I went to 108 with the 16/46 combo and still had room for adjustment when I'm running a 14 tooth front. I've used the 46 rear for over 10,000 miles and I'm very pleased with it.

Seems to me that if you're going shark hunting you want at least a harpoon. And you're probably going to need a bigger boat.
