So i have been on this forum for like... a year and a half but never really took stunting serious until about a week ago (i would normally just come on here and learn some stuff and stay quiet).

anyways i just found BP and i have become pretty stable there and i think im read to move on, but i feel to move on i need larger sprockets...

question is if i have a fairly uncommon bike is there any way i can have a sprocket made?

i have a 96 KLX650 and the dealer can only give me 1 more tooth....

sorry in advanced for my squid-lyness

 

no worries man, nothing wrong with stayin quiet. but start asking questions in the threads man.... easiest way to learn on here

 

what kinda bike you got? these guys make sprocket and chain kits for almost anything

www.motoheaven.com

 

think you gotta call to order, its been awhile since i ordered from them....

 

i got an odd type bike 05 YZF600r not R-6, vortex had a sprocket in stock and oversize ones, anodized , whatever you like....was 160can, although you won't get dinged w border fees, squid fees, USPS fees, B.S fees and the likes...i got mine shipped and on the bike in less thatn 2 weeks, 530 pitch...but same deal as gxr750 says, call to order. over sizes are added 40 bucks i think right off the bat.

 

same pitch? 750 is a 525 chain pitch.....

 

thanks for both of your replys!

im really glad i didnt get chewed out like i see alot of squids do lol...

ill post an up-date on here when i figure things out

Thanks a ton, Nathan

 

I don't think you need to regear the 96 KLX650, first gear is pretty slow, I've ridden those bikes before. you can slow a wheelie almost to a stop in first gear. once you start getting past balance point and using the brake, you'll see how slow first gear can go on a wheelie. but that's just my opinion, some people feel comfortable at different gearings.

 

Rock what you got!

 

ya dude my dad had a klx 6fiddy, i blew up the motor riding a wheelie on the interstate weaving thru cars like a goon. so keep it stock squid muffins!!!

 

+1

but i havent riddden one so im not sure. usually 3-5 up helps a little and is all you really need.


too much gearing will damper your learning process.
