after market pipes

[Porter, David]

If I want to increase low end torque but want to maintain high end speeds of at least 75 MPH which sprocket configuration should I go with? I was also told that adding an after-market clutch kit would increase performance. Any thoughts? David C. Porter

Add 2 teeth to the rear, and run a 110 link chain. that'll drop you a little bit and put you at the back of the swingarm with the adjusters. I was also

My thought is some ordered 1 too many clutch kits and wants to sell you one. I don't think you can overheat the clutch on a stock KLR, unless you're practicing drag starts at pomona in the summer with 10w- 30 car oil in it. Fred A15 Kawtchasaki.

Bought an A15 off e-bay a week ago an really like it. Corbin seat,Scottoiler,bigger front brake,givi carrier,2500 miles,Gripster rear tire and ss brake lines. Does anyone know how to fill the oiler. All this talk about the doohickey and seizing up motors is making me scittzo. Is there a way to fix it? If there is I'm going to take the bull by the horns and fix it . Sounds like I've got alot more to do to this bike to get it the way I want it,lower it,rework the suspension,higher windsheild,did I forget anything? Eventually I'd like to see a bunch of the world on this beast,anybody want to come along? Tom in No.Calif.

I`m working my ass off to buy a KLR 650. I`ve always been in love with this bike but been caught up with the street scene. I made up my mind I wanna a bike than can go and do anything anywhere. I no longer care about doing a 150 mph. Anyway I like reading these post. I`ve learned alot. thx

Then you've definitely come to the right place. Devon A15

You could download GearCalc from http://www.IronJungle.Com and it would tell you how changing sprockets will effect your RPMs at 75MPH. It will not calculate torque values. The same site has a program called DynoCalc that would compute HP and torque, but it requires you to have the optional sprockets installed. I guess there is no perfect world...
