Back to the future KLE500
What year is this model KLE? (Sorry it's a link but I can't post pics on this site)
http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gal...005%20%204.jpg My reg says 05 but when I order parts they don't fit. The sales assistant in M&P seems to think it's 06, but that's impossible… |

Normally I wouldn't go by the reg, but I knew for a fact the bike couldn't have been pre 05, but I wasn't expecting it to be later. I'll give Corby a bell on Monday. Do you order parts off them too? |

Sprocket had too many teeth = less acceleration, so I was happy enough holding off for a smaller one. M&P sent me a replacement at no extra cost – fair play to them, because it wasn't even their fault. So I have a new 46 tooth sprocket if you want it.

mine are ok for the moment, i would hand on to it as it would be a good sprocket for off roading, give you bit more torque

More teeth on the rear sprocket = better acceleration, lower topspeed
Less teeth on the rear sprocket = less acceleration, higher topspeed

Oh yeah…duh… I was thinking of front sprockets. I'd already pulled links off the chain so it made no difference anyway, but nice to know these things for the future. Might hang onto that spare rear sprocket for next time so.
