The pre '69 Honda CT90s had the sprocket change out you describe but it was replaced by the the dual range transmission. Flip a lever and it engages a two cogs on an idler shaft and gives you four low or on a KLR five low. Now that would be a option I would enjoy and no having to mess breaking the chain. And if you think it would only work on low hp bikes Honda had the same system on the CB900C in 1980-82. http://www.100megsfree4.com/honda/h0900/custom.htm Imagine the possibilities.

Norm, MINE had to be changing out the (appeared to still have useable tread) OEM Dunlop front tire for a 3.25 x 21 K270. NOW my front end doesn't wash-out on snotty surfaces... and I don't have to change my underwear as often DURING rides! Ed PS Oh yah - and putting gas in ASAP after hitting reserve!

Just back from a 4100 mile trip cut short due to weather in Wyo, Co, N.Mex and Texas. Did see many interesting things of course and will be going back to Co. in August with the KLR650 for some high mountain passes with a new KLR owner and friend from Manatou Springs. Now have decided to sell my '02 BMW R1150GSA with about 49K miles on it if anyone is interested or knows someone interested. Time for a bit lighter bike and just a change in general. Having done 50+K miles on a '95 R11GSA and 24K+ on a '97 R11RA it's time to go play with another brand while still can. ha ha ha '43 Andy in Jennings, La. '00 KLR650 '02 R1150GSA Oh by the way,a few days back, Met Ron Criswel and another guy from Texas at a lonely little general store, gas station in southern Colorado on thier way to Utah for the bash. Who would of thought that. Small world.
