Hey guys, so I got this km100 enduro I've been working on for a while, sprockets are so rounded if you gun it the chain just skips lol. Anyways the stock gearing is 14/36, which I would like to keep the same, but all Parts Canada has available for the rear is a 39 Tooth, for the front they have 12-16 tooth, so if I put on a 15t to compensate for the raise of 3 in the rear will this affect anything? Thanks for listening!

Yeah i think that's about as close to the stock ratio as you're going to get. Keep in mind you will need a longer chain, it's a good idea to replace it all at once anyway

lol yeah I'm replacing it all at once, funny when people think it will be fine to just change one of the three XD

Yea the only time I don't put new sprockets and chain is when I have some sprockets that are alil worn out and a chain that is alil worn is the only time I don't replace with all new.

Yeah it's not bad if you're playing with gearing and only have a few hours on, but when it's this bad it would be so dumb to try it.
