Predator Gearing info
After riding this last weekend in the dunes with 8 paddle haulers, it was obvious that a gearing change was needed IMHO. Pulled the front sprocket off and went to the dealer. They called manufacturers and nobody has anything yet. Well they started comparing the Predator one with others in stock and the Honda XR650L has the same shaft size, sline size and bolt pattern for the keeper, and the same offset on the back. They ordered a 13 tooth one for me, and I should have it before the weekend to try. I will report my findings [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I ordered one of these today from the local quad store... $15 and it'll be here Thursday. And, from the look of things, it may beat my machine here. *sigh*
BTW, there is apparently only one company that makes a 13-tooth sprocket for the XR650L. Of course I forgot the name of it, though...

One tooth will totally wake the machine up. I went from a 15 to a 14 tooth front sprocket on my 400EX and it made all the difference. On the dunes I went from using nothing but 1st and 2nd to being able to use 1-4 regularly.
You won't need a shorter chain to use a 13T sprocket. BTW, mine came in today (the sprocket, not the machine). I now have a sprocket and a full set of dune tires and STILL no freakin' machine.

so did you find out what company makes the sprocket? i just took the screen wire out of my spark arrestor... probably 0 gain in the deal, but w/out a choice of pipes yet, it made me feel better [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] i haven't checked about the rear sprocket, has anyone else?
