To keep the skid plate, you'll have to shim it down a little. Primary drive sprockets are a bargan. That's what I use always. Never had a problem

yea you want to gear down from the sounds of it and its easier to just get a new front b/c they are easier to change and 1 tooth in the front is = to two teeth in the back. if you are getting a new chain just b/c of the new rear sprocket its not worth it. if you are replacing the chain for another reason then i can see why you would want to do that. so now the choice is yours

I believe he posted something about his chain falling off earlier. Im not too sure if its same guy, but he is from utah [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Good call on getting steel back sprocket and a new chain though. Many people suggest O ring or Xring chains they are a little more expensive, but are said to last longer. For me, any chain gets wasted by the sand here, so i stick with regular chains.
