Thanks for the tips. I changed mine back to stock today. I used an impact wrench since I was working solo. Hope you are still enjoying your XT!

Great.. to each their own… I was ok with the charge but totally get it.. 🙏

K&D made that look 2 EZ!!! The Yamahanian whom torqued my factory 15t used a battle tank torgue wrench on mine. I nearly blew a brain gasket 'trying' to get mine off. Ended up at the shop in the end as I was starting to strip the 30mm nut. Great tutorial as always 👍👍

Wow, that sounds crazy, Thanks for the nice comment… appreciate it…

👍👍👍👍👍

My sprocket cover had 1 bolt hand loose. I added med strength locktite. Since you have the tach do you know the rpm difference? I saw you were at 6500rpm at 100km/hr on the 16T?

Great demo. Considering this mod on my bike. Have you had any experience trail riding/hill climbing since the conversion?

It’s not a huge difference, for trail riding I personally think it’s better because I can get in a gear that works nicely for the speed I drive. Hill climbing is not an issue really as far as power goes, it’s when you get to the top and reduce throttle when u don’t know what’s on the other side…. An experienced rider will have no trouble. The gear is not expensive so worth a try in my opinion.

How did it Effect first& second gear? Does it still have Enough low and grunt to go off road and climb hills? Thank you for posting. I'm thinking about changing mine.

Yes all is fine, no troubles so far.. the sprocket is not expensive and it’s easy to change. Worth a trying.

I also want to change the asterisk to the XT 250 . But I want to put on 14 teeth . Basically , I ride this motorcycle in the taiga , where all - terrain vehicles cannot pass , there are only bears walking there and I 'm on a motorcycle . 🦉 And that 's why traction is more important than speed . But I can 't find an asterisk with 14 teeth yet . I'll probably find it before spring. In the spring I will go for birch sap .

So how fast do you have to go on the dash speedometer to actually do 100kmph on the gps?

@kd_enterprise3404 I have one on a FedEx truck. I'm curious if the results are similar. It will depend on the accuracy of the dash speedo. I think the last time I ran it with a gps I had to run 103 to hit 90 on the gps. Disappointing for sure.

@@RobMillerATV that sounds about right, it progressively goes to a higher percent with increased speed.. 10% at 100 km per hour is what I was getting but I’m sure it was more like 11 or 12 so 13 would be in the realm… it’s all liability reasons I believe. I bet with the new sprocket and if I put a new tire on I’d be very close to actual speed.. I’m about 5% out now at 100.

@kd_enterprise3404 ya I noticed that. 90 was 80 and the faster I went the farther apart the speeds were. I'm excited about the new sprocket. If you're not doing 100 around here ya get run down lol.

They're are much easier ways.

Im changing my rear sprocket to 45 from 48
