Just bought a 2012 KLX 2050s and installed a new Two Brothers slip on and installed new jey kit to give it a bit more power and eliminate the terrible sound of Glorified Scooter! But I must do more controlled wheelies.

Does anyone think if a switched out the factory rear sprocket with a larger one that this woild help be sustain better wheelies?

Thanks! Greg

 

Bigger sprocket would help probably. Best bet would be a big bore kit, more power.

 

Assuming you don't want to change the rider, yes, a bigger rear sprocket may make it "do wheelies" better. It may also make it much easier to "loop it"...again, most of wheely-ing ability of a given bike is due to the rider.

 

Yeah, you can wheelie the stock one in first and second all day if you are good

Exactly. Had some good 3rd gear ones today at 30+ mph.

 

Thanks all you guys! Yes, I will be looking into the big bore! I have found the sweet spot and can jockey the back brake and throttle and can go for quite a while. I think by doing the new upgrades it will be easier to get the front end up in 2nd and 3rd.

Thanks for all the input. Oh yah, I found out yesterday thats its not legal on the road!! He was a real cool cop though! I literally had no idea! Here in Florida its a $1500 fine for a "wheel up" violation. What a bunch of crap!!

Peace out

 

I wouldn't think it's legal in any state, but it might be. $1500 seems to be a little excessive to me! Not sure where you live, but there are all kinds of back country roads where I live. That's where I do mine. I'm thinking not legal in Wisconsin either, but we all take our chances.
