Hi all

For those of you who have a 2009 klx 250s, have you installed a 13-tooth countershaft sprocket? Im looking for one and am having a hell of a time finding the correct part. There seems to be all kinds of conflicting and confusing info on other forums.

I have read that that a sprocket for an XR650l is supposed to fit. Can anyone verify this and if so please list a part number and where you found the info. What sprockets have you guys tried with success. Any help is appreciated as Im pulling my hair out over this:mad:.

Please be as specific as possible listing part # and manufacturer where you can. Thanks.

I have one on my 2009. It's a Moose Racing part #1212-0387. Has the correct shoulder on the engine side, outside looks a bit different but that doesn't affect anything. Parts Canada (the distributor of Moose parts in Canada) has chosen not to bring it in at this time. I got mine through a Kawasaki dealer in the USA, special order. Pricey; but worth not having to have some sort of separate collar in there as was the case with the YFZ450 13T I got following some of that confusing info. It had the right spline but no shoulder. I didn't want the chain line to be anything but correct. Rumour has it the XR650 part sits off (in?out?) by 1/64"; so if you set your rear wheel so the chain is straight your wheel is actually slightly off. Or with the wheel straight the chain runs at a slight angle to the sprockets.

I got a 13 tooth countershaft sprocket for an XR650L for my wife's 2009 KLX250 and it was a perfect fit. Don't remember the part number, but it was a JT brand sprocket if I remember right. I just went to a local store and asked for one that fit an XR650L and that was it.

Thank for the replies everyone. As in 250ccforme's case, the dealer sold me a 13t for the YFZ450. Spline is right but the sprocket wont tighten up properly when the nut and washer are put back on.

Vexorg, with the XR650L sprocket, does the wheel line up perfectly with the chain?

Thanks all

I took a look at pbisprockets, but I'm not sure I can trust their info. Their catalogue contradicts their online store for the KLX250. Cat: '06/'07 different from '09 (which is why finding one was such a pain); online store: same PN for all '06 & up. An email or phone call would sort it out (hopefully). Like you cathouse, I managed to get what I was after, just took more money than I was hoping to have to spend with shipping being a large part of the end cost.
