It seems you have an extra bolt behind the starter reduction gears which is preventing you removing the sprocket cover. Can you remove the extra bolt?

That one?

SpudRider · 10-21-2012, 11:57 PM

Yes, that appears to be the offending bolt.

Can you remove it?

You're welcome.

Got it.It wasn't that bolt, I needed to take the chain off,it was hitting the chain. I have a 15 tooth sprocket. What would a 16 get me roughly? A 17? Will i need a new chain because adding 1 tooth?

One tooth the old chain will be fine. 2 I can't say. You may not be able to add more than one as you have clearance considerations from the sprocket to the crankcase.

SpudRider · 10-22-2012, 04:36 PM

You shouldn't need a new drive chain if you increase the front sprocket only 1 tooth. However, check to see how much clearance is available between the drive chain and the sprocket cover with the current sprocket. If you don't have sufficient clearance, you won't be able to install a larger sprocket.

It's about 1" max at top and bottom and about 1/4" on the side.

Where can I get a 16 tooth that will fit? Link please?

No, the KLR650 sprocket will not fit your bike's countershaft. You need a sprocket with 6 inner teeth, such as the following sprocket.

Measure your current sprocket and see if the dimensions match the sprocket in the drawing above.

The early honda clones or hondoids, are geared very very low. I believe most users gear them like the newer GY-5's, 17 front 46 rear. Search around a bit, I put a 17 front on a similiar bike and it was very very tight to the sprocket cover, as in self machining, haha.

The huge 56T rear should very likely go as well, I think this generation hondoids are geared from the factory to carry 10 bags of rice and a family of 5, with a trailer.

17/46 should get you 60 mph and still be OK for light / medium offroading.

I bet that's EXACTLY why they are geared the way they are! :idea:
