I used to run my 14 tooth with the rear 35!!!
Bike was damn quick too.
Not so much fun after I moved out of Denver proper, closer to the flatter Plains. .
Most driving now is in that 50mph-80mph range so the new set was 15/35 and 630 chain but even I have considered a 16 T now.
Funny reading fellow KZ’rs meantoring you on moto drive chain and sprocket basics! LOL.

:lol: :lol: :lol: They mean well. It's fun but I'll get a new 16 soon. I back off before I get to 100 now and downshifting at speed is next to useless. 8500 past redline buys nothing. I like the longer gearing the 16 provides.
I got a chuckle at the one pointing out my spelling using broken english. :whistle:

The guy I bought the part from tried to tell me that part belongs in the clutch so I sent him these pics.

He still asked me to "Do him a solid" and change my feedback to positive. I'll tell him if he changes the listing, I'll change my feedback.
If not I will decline.
THIS PART DOES NOT BELONG IN A KAWASAKI ENGINE. :angry:
Am I wrong?
