Are any modifications required to fit a 16 toother on a A15? Thanks in advance, West Eugene, OR. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

No. There is plenty of chain adjustment travel to allow for a 16T CS sprocket when used with the stock 43T rear sprocket. RM

No the 16T should go on easy, The chain will need to be adjusted (duh) but thats it. The only place I know to get one if from fred at Arrowheadmotorsports.com in moab. good luck ===== Mitch, San Bernardino __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Also try: http://www.sprocketspecialists.com I have one on my bike now. It is of unknown origin (it does NOT look like the PBI that most of us use). RM

My Sprocket Specialists front 16T had a sticker on it indicating it was "Made in Taiwan". When I ordered it I thought it was going to be "Made in USA". It seems to working fine. Brad

I was wondering does the 16 tooth front sprocket give you better gas mileage? I drive 54 miles to work one way and very little off road. Would this be a good choice for me?

I run the 16 tooth on my '01 KLR and it really does better on the highway, with lower RPMs in each gear. The only time I would throw the 15 back on would be for tight trails, long climbs, etc. As far as gas mileage improvement; I'm in Kansas with not many steep hills where the engine would lug, so I'm sure I received a very slight increase in gas mileage...YMMV.

Hey KLRistas! Who out there there has swapped out the front sprocket for a 16 tooth? Can you please tell me if you replaced the back sprocket and the chain at the same time? What has your experience been after the swap, positive or negative?
