Hey, what would be the best setup for low end torque? But still not sacrificing the top speed too much... I was thinking of just getting a 13t, but I'm not sure about the rear sprocket. I like to drive offroad with my klx a lot, but I need to drive highway speeds to be able to get onto the dirt.

I'd like to order online...but if someone who has done this and know the exact spacers to get from their dealer and wants to make an easy $10 plus the price of the spacers to ship me some...let me know !

Bump:

My JT 13T front sprocket is aprx 1mm narrower than original. Looks like I should have ordered the -13 instead of the .13 from what I am reading now.

I only had it on (13/44) for a day or two to see how I liked the shorter gearing. I switched back to the 14/47 using the Kaw 14T an hour ago to get back to a larger diameter front sprocket again. It's essentially the same gear ratio.

Guess I need to keep an eye out for a 26MM ID washer that's 1mm thick !
