351 Owners: Post your sprocket combinations!

Engine is more relaxed at indicated 62 mph (6,000 rpm) which is where I spend most of the time.
Yes I can lift the front wheel at any time in first gear with just the throttle.
You need to gear the bike for how it works best for your riding conditions not mine.
PLENTY of low end grunt with the 351 and Slide carb.

Could there be a difference in the gearbox ratio between the 06/07 (mine) and the 09 and beyond (yours?)? I seem to recall something changing in that regard.

I've got the 13/42 right now on my 2006 klx 351s. It seems to run out of gear too fast though. I want to drop the rear to like a 39 or a 40 but I don't want to loose my bottom end and throttle wheelies. Thoughts on this?

We've had the motard version here in Japan long before the SF came out.

'09 s, 351, tm36, stock tires and rear sprocket, 15 front sprocket. I'm about 165lbs. Lots of power for climbing off road stuff as well as enough top end that the tires become unstable. Cruises easly at 75mph. It gets 48-52 mpg. What more could I ask?

Where in the world did you guys find anything lower than a 45t rear sprocket? I looked on BikeBandit and Rockymountain and the lowest that they had was 45t. Of course I could go with the 42t stock but that's what I have right now.
