I was just wondering who has changed their 610 enduro sprockets. And what you changed to. I was thinking of going to 14 by 48. I want more low end grunt for off road. Thanks
I went up 2 on the rear. Used Ironman sprockets. Bit more bottom end, and on top still plenty easy on the highway. This with the power up kit. Bike wheelies with ease. Out runs a builty XR650.
I got a 48 rear, it's made by Mooseracing. I did have the 14 on the front, but I went back to the 15.
Mike: Have you had any problems with the 47 T rear and the upper chain roller? I thought I remembered a post somewhere about the mount for the upper chain roller bending with rear sprockets larger than X, but I can't find the post and can't remember X? Thanks, Howard
No problemo at all. Stock gearing is great if you do a fair bit of asphalt, and have a corked up (stock) bike. If you only hit asphalt to connect the trails, or if the bike is 'opened up' then a 47 or 48 rear is a nice way to go. I use the Ironman rear and love it. Any bigger rear sprocket will most likely need another masterlink. When we goin riding? Your bike looks great.
I hope to get out to California sometime this summer (once the semester is over) and we ought to do a trip then! Thanks for the comments on the bike - I'm working in the dark because I haven't seen photos of your ralley build yet! Howard
Take a look at this one. AFAM is the oem. This seems a bit of an upgrade. http://www.drivesystemsusa.com/p/38...th-tri-metal-520-rear-sprocket-husqvarna.html

$2 is $2! I put together a list of sprocket sources awhile back. I will update it. Take a look on this list of aftermarket stuff. Scroll down to 'wheels' http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1317
+1 for AFAM / DriveSystems products. I've had exceptionally good experience with their sprockets in the past.
FWIW, I've gone from the stock 15-45 to 14-45 and now to 14-48. I'll probably put a 16 if I plan to put some real road miles in, but for the mixed use I just put the bike through yesterday (boulder crawling, single track, higher speed logging roads + some highway), it worked damn well.
Ive just done the 1 tooth front drop so far. Havent tried any tight trails yet, but it works nicely around town and on faster off road stuff.
I run 14/47 for the dirt and 16/45 when I mostly road it. The lower gearing really helps in the tight stuff, gives my clutch a break. Haven't had any problems with the upper chain roller (yet).
I ran 15/47 for my Baja trip and liked the ratio. It give just a bit more oomph in 6th gear so that the bike doesn't feel like it's lugging.
Dirt Tricks does not make a 47T for the TE610 as you found out. So I went with their 46T and have both a 14T and 15T counter sprocket. I run 14/45 now and 70mph is about 5K RPM, a bit buzzy for a long haul. So 15/46 I think will be a better compromise street ratio to get the RPM well below 5K, and slap the 14T on for a bit lower than my current setup. Jumping to a 48T with a 15T up front would not have improved the 5K 70mph buzz. - Mike
I liked that as well, but found in the stuff posted over on ADV, that some better crawling ability is much appreciated.
