You better check the chain slack again. It looked tight in the video! It needs close to 2" of play. You can check the manual. Just don't want you to damage anything :)

[CharliesGarage]

Wow the front sprocket nut is absolutely stuck on my bike. I’ve tried an air impact and a huge breaker bar. Nothing. I’m going to let some penetrating oil work in overnight and try again tomorrow.

[eljuano]

You were going to have to make a small adjustment anyway and there is nothing wrong with how you did the job, but I thought I'd let you know another method for dealing with the chain dismount/remount that you'll hopefully find easier than that when you eventually have other things to do such as tires, brakes, etc..

If you put the bike up in the air, you can remove the axle without moving your adjusters at all. When you reassemble it, you're still good. Adjusters absolutely need to be checked/moved when you need to add/remove chain slack, but the cool thing about this design is you don't have to for most other jobs.

Just a tip. Now I'mma watch the rest of the vid. See you in the next one.

Good job ..although ur chsin is abit to tight Mr..run 2 or 3 fingers about 4 in from the front pivot point that's a good easy way

[KNot_uH_Mr.E]

Still trying to figure out how you mounted the mirrors. I bought the same ones and am having a brain fart

[danijelv]

Wouldn't it be better to add a tooth to the rear sprocket?

[christopherrogers]

what do you have the rear view mirrrors mounted to?

[gunsnguitars]

I knew you would like the 13t..congrats

[PennsylvaniaDualSport]

Your best bet is you use a micrometer on the axle blocks to assure proper axle alignment. $20 bucks on Amazon.

[Fisch_gamer]

not to be a dick but can barely call those wheelies. try in 1st and try to find your pivot/balance point.

[stever]

All the mods on a thumper. Now your ready for BMW r1200 GS.

[cfdalton]

Is there any difference in disc / sprocket bolt patterns for klx300sm vs klx300? Ie could I put a 40t klx300 sprocket on a klx300sm 17in rear wheel?

[xsoobeastly]

13T gives more acceleration but lower top speed right?

[cawalkabout]

so the 13t buys more low end torque correct? did it affect your cruising speed RPM at all? thx.

[timothysmith]

Does changing to a 13 tooth front sprocket affect the speedometer and odometer readings?

[mohawkmikemotorcycles]

I don't know if I missed the video but did you end up getting a top speed with the 13 42 gearing? Thanks again man

[nathanielblocker]

I was afraid he’d run out of gas on the freeway

[barking.dog.productions]

13T with the big bore kit should put you right where you want to be for the riding that you do most days. The bad is that one new sprocket on an old chain could shorten the life of the chain and both sprockets depending on the amount of wear. Get your gearing right using the old stuff and then replace all of it once you figure out the perfect combination for your riding style and needs...

[danzilla]

serious question for anyone that sees this comment as im new to klx250s, does one tooth make that much of a difference

[malcolmmathers]

you wanna wheely you got to bounce on seat compressing rear suspension you get your timing write itll come up easy without the high revs and lots of clutch
