rear sprocket replacement

[Weaver, Mark]

so in conjunction with thinking about this DirectHits stuff, and reading a little about sparkplugs, it seems that non-resistor spark plugs provide a more intense spark. i notice that resistor plugs are spec'd for canadian klr's, but non-resistor plugs for the US ones. is there any difference in the ignition to account for this? is this just a case of canadians having to make do with weaker sparks? it makes sense, they're already stuck with weaker sports teams and weaker beer, but at least they can probably buy non-resistor plugs. anyone ever notice a difference between resistor and non on their klrs? i've had both on mine, and I can't feel a difference, but i haven't done any long-term scientific testing. mw

Two questions on the rear sprocket. 1. Does anybody know how many teeth the stock rear sprocket has on the 98? 2. Is the KLX650 stock sprocket bigger and possibly compatible? If you haven't figured it out, my buddy is going to a bigger sprocket on his KLX and being the opportunist that I am, I thought I'd take advantage. Wouldn't it be so nice if I could just slap that thing on. Thanks in advance for the info. Bob L.
