All you need to do is brace an open end/box end wrench between the teeth on the front sprocket and the skid plate(if you have the heavy duty aluminum skid plate) I remmeber struggling with my KLR the first time i ever tried to replace the sprocket.I ended using a giant sized C clamp to hold the chain to the swing arm so i could remove the countershaft nut. Then the next time i had the bright idea to just brace an open end/box end wrench between the teeth on the sprocket and the skid plate.That is so much easier than anything else i have seen or heard tell of.

I recently got a 94 KLR 650 and it seems to get warm, the temp guage rides at the high end of the bracket but the motor doesn't feel that warm. I was wondering if anybody has any problems with the sensor or should take the thermosthat out and test it. After one rid the spedometer quick working as well. It is stuck at 2OMPH. The odometer works but the needle is froze. Anybody have a fix?
