Today, I’m finally doing the Fritz sprocket replacement on the XR650L. The picture is how the spline looked right before I put on the new sprocket. I mainly do highway riding very few trails, but the bike is pushed more on the aggressive end.
Need some help troubleshooting a drivetrain issue after installing a Fritzco 14T front sprocket on my XR650L.
Bike was running perfectly with the stock 15T. Yesterday I installed the Fritzco 14T. The sprocket is fully seated on the countershaft, retainer plate is installed correctly with both bolts, and the sprocket was installed in the same orientation as the 15T.
After the swap, the bike started jerking and clunking during acceleration. It feels like the drivetrain is loading and unloading under throttle.
Did anyone else have this problem with the 14T? What am i doing wrong.. ( I did notice the OEM 15T seats more on the spline than the 14T)
I saw a video of a guy doing a power shift on a dirt bike and I was wondering if you're able to do that on a XR650l without ruining the gearing mechanisim on the bike? And if you are able to do it, how often should you and when?
