44 Tooth Rear Sprocket Installed

Wow. I just had the 44 tooth rear sprocket installed. That is 4 teeth down from stock. I was worried about loosing power but it has werked out great. no notable power loss.

I really like it. I now have a long 4th gear. That is great for around town. I actually sometimes do not realize I am still in 4th gear and anyone who has ridden this machine knows that you are in fifth gear before you can say "God bless America"!

The new custom 44 tooth XF200 rear sprocket brought the rpms at 75 mph down a full 500 rpms to 7,000. not bad for $29.95!!!

I got the valves adjusted and it was needed bad. The high speed stuttering is gone. The mechanics eliminated a fuel issue as the cause and quickly determined the valves needed adjusting. I am definetly going to go back down on the jet as I am dumping too much gas on the plug. It was really black.

I noticed that I am having more fun on the XF200 with the new sprocket. It acts a lot different. Some of the characteristics take a little while to realize. I have had it on for about a week now.

Get one for yourself from JP Motorsports. They have them in stock now!!!
