New Sprocket (Spacely's?)


I installed the new sprocket today. It was certainly a pain in the butt, but everything done on the bike is empowering in its own way. I'll see how long it is until I have to replace the whole final drive.

Here is my little post on KLR650.net detailing my installation with pictures and self-doubt.

Worn Sprocket!


It's a rude surprise when the sprocket starts slipping inside the chain. I had no idea that the sprocket was this worn. I need to keep up on my maintenance more. Tomorrow I will buy a 14 and a 15 tooth sprocket and install the 14 to see how it feels (15 is the stock size). More adventures in motorcycle maintenance...
