Now I've got a new issue. Bike is making a terrible rattle at redline. Valves are good and tight, not sure what the issue is.
No, bike only has 16k on it.
I dont over rev it much, I just noticed it and wanted to track it down. I have to do the countershaft sooner than later so everything else will get addressed at that point.Milage doesn't matter if you are revving to redline often.
If you are going to run it like that get some BeeHive style racing springs.

It's got a fitzco now. But the countershaft is pretty far goneFrom what you are describing it sounds like a touch of valve float
Just try a FRITZCO sprocket. It's wide enough to keep your countershaft going a while longer.
I see the wear pattern from the thin OEM sprocket, man it is pretty bad.It's got a fitzco now. But the countershaft is pretty far goneView attachment 48087
I also have Fritzco sprocket on mine . How long have these been manufactured ? Ran the xr650r sprocket backwards for quite awhile then switched as soon as I found these.
I got your sprocket from this fine gentleman.Starting year four of production and sales.
Proud to say zero defects with a 100% Top Seller rating on eBay.
We have developed sprockets for several similar troublesome applications like the XRL.
Specialty chain sliders are also a big part of what we do.
Many modernizations have occurred. The most recent was to shipping. It was in the kitchen by the fridg. Now its moved to a totally modern location to the left of the microwave. LOL
A big thanks to all our customers.
Fritz is an old school QA/QC guy ... Gives him an eye for detail.
I met him via ADVRider.
Got my Fritz on eBay. Kinda wanted the 14t but only found the 15. Now I learn he’s right here on the site ! Dohhh!!
You might like a 16t for highway duty and take a 14t for trails. I plan on getting both eventually.Got my Fritz on eBay. Kinda wanted the 14t but only found the 15. Now I learn he’s right here on the site ! Dohhh!!
Yup, put a 16 on the klr and dropped rpm’s by 500... I bet a 14 will give me better low end trail goodness on the xrl
Your oil was clean! LolBabbs got fresh rotella today. I’m ready for round 2 aspr !View attachment 48537
