    Out of the selection below, what chain and sprocket set would you recommend? The quality price relation has to be kept in mind. For ref, I’ll be going through North Africa; mainly tarmac and compact dirt/ dusty gravel roads. Thanks, Leo...

    On a recent long trip through Kentucky hill country, about three days in I noticed that under hard acceleration uphill (4000-5500 rpm WOT in the upper two gears only) an intermittent sound, like a chain slapping EDIT(I could feel a slight jerk/hesitation at each “pop”).

    So….I loaded up with gear for my first long trip. On the way out of town in the first two miles I noticed an odd feeling, sorta like a flat spot in a tire.

    It's time to change the chain so the sprockets will be getting replaced as well. While searching the web I'm finding conflicting answers on whether or not there is one size fits all kit. Do the different gens have different kits?

    Hey there, Preparing for a relatively long adv trip, and was taking a look at the drive chain. Noticed that the lower rear chain guide is actually touching the drive chain. Can't attach an image for some reason so here's the OEM part number of this lower rear chain guide (if that's the actual...

    Sounds aren't what they seem... 2008 KLR 650 purchased from 2nd owner, 3 mos ago with 10,500 miles. Doohickey and some other mods done by P.O.
