Thanks for the help I'm going to get 13/47 and change front first if I want lower I'll install the rear 47 if that's to low I'll put the 14 in the front back In. think that's the best way to go to give me few different ooptions I'll check back In when I get them and Install later in the week

 

Hey everyone. I just did the 13T front and 45T back sprocket mod this weekend with my 2007 KLX250s. The only thing I had to do that we are not sure about was to flip the rear chain adjuster over. Where as before the mod is was on maybe 3 with the "handle" piece sticking to the back and slightly up, with the mod we had to put it on 7 with the "handle" piece pointing downwards. We did this because if we would have had the "handle" piece on the adjuster pointing upwards (which would make it catching something while riding harder) it would have been hitting the bolt that holds on the chain guard and wouldn't have been able to put the chain guard back on. Has anyone else ran into this problem, and if so, did you flip the adjuster upside down or do you just run with no chain guard? Thanks for any advice you have!

 

I went to 13/50 on one of my KLX's and 13/49 on the other and did not have to do anything with the chain adjusters. I did have to get longer chains, though.

I'll have to take a closer look when I get home, but I don't see how the chain adjuster would interfere with anything?

 

It was just the bolt that holds on the chain guard that was in the way of the piece of the chain adjuster (also called the snail adjuster I guess) that sticks out when I put it on 7 to get the chain tight enough for the new setup. I might either A) take the chain guard off and flip the adjuster back over, or B) take the bike to where I get it inspected, which is also a dealer, and see what they think of the way I have it now.
