Hey yall. I am currently running a 13/47 sprocket combo. I enjoy it much better than the stock 13/43. I am currently running tusk d sport adventure tires. A 90/90/21 front and 130/90/18 in the rear. I wanted to try the 130 out and I am not a fan so I will be switching back to a 120. Before I had dunlop d606 tires in the same size I have in the tusk now, and they seemed to be much lighter and more nimble. Upon switching to the tusk, the bike felt more sluggish and lost about 3-5 mph top speed wise. Once I switch to the 120 tusk tire and see how it feels, I am also contemplating going up to a 50 tooth sprocket in the rear. I ride highway every now and then but am trying to get as much pull from the bike as possible. I have all the standard power mods, full fmf exhaust, fuel programmer, hi flow air filter, flapper box mod, and weight reduction such as AIS delete, charcoal canister delete, tail tidy, smaller front flashers etc. I would like to hear yalls input on 13/50 gearing with similar power mods and how it rides on the highway. Worst case scenario I can always switch back to the 47. Any input would be appreciated!

Hey yall. I bought my 2019 wrr used with 3,700 miles. The whole time since I have owned it, the clutch pull has always seemed to grab. The clutch lever itself is an aftermarket asv lever. I inspected it and it seems fine. I figured the previous owner just didn’t keep up with lubing the cable. So I ordered a new clutch cable, installed it with no pinch points in the routing and the clutch pull feels better but ultimately the same. I have an oil change due in about 700 miles. While Im doing that I plan to take apart the clutch assembly itself to see what the deal is. Has anyone had issues like this? Also to describe the clutch pull in greater detail, the lever will pull, grab, then jump to the next position instead of a consistent smooth pull. It does this on the pull in and release out. It also does this while the bike is off as well as on and running. The grabbing feel is more apparent when slowly trying to pull in or let out. Any input would be appreciated!

Hey yall, decided it was time for some new sprockets. Keeping it 13 in the front and 47 in the rear. I’m currently changing out the front and I went with a vortex instead of OEM. Revzilla said it would fit the wr and the teeth and splines look the same. However the OEM sprocket is much wider, a bit heavier, and has rubber pieces on each side that the vortex does not. This has me worried that the vortex will not fit properly and cause issues. What do yall think? Have yall swapped a front sprocket out on your wrs that looked much different but worked just fine? I’m hesitant to put it on now because it looks so much different

Ordered a vortex 13 tooth front and a vortex 47 tooth rear. As well as a 112 link D.I.D x ring chain. Everything is 520 pitch and is supposed to fit the wr. However I have recently read in a few places people having issues with aftermarket front sprockets and recommend running only OEM fronts. Does anyone have any advice on this? Should I be fine or just wait and order an OEM? Also what should I expect from the gearing change? The current gearing set up is the stock 13-43. My goal was to add more torque and be better on the trails but still be able to cruise at highway speeds. Any input would be appreciated!
