Thanks for posting. For me the 15 swap is working out great - I would have been able to do it quicker if I had seen this video first. I think this will help other less experienced people like me.

No need to pull the axle. Just loosen up the adjusters to provide enough slack in the chain to remove the old sprocket and install the new one. Just did mine the other day. I like the gearing change, bike just seems more calm in each gear.

Just did this mod yesterday (ofc this did helped me a lot) 😅 And yeah it feels so calm gearing now ;) Rpms have definitely dropped by 500 for first couple of gears. Tbh I used 15t sprocket from bajaj Dominar 400 also changed front break pad from bajaj dominor 400 (same part used by ktm 390 )

This is definitely on my list of things to do sooner than later. I did the same thing with my CBR500R and it worked very well. I’m very happy with my scrambler overall. My only gripes are the really poor headlight performance and the massively over-brightness of the instrument display at night. Looks like you live in a nice part of the world. 👍😃

I was very interested in this as well but I put bigger knobbier tires on my bike and that helped tremendously with the short gearing, it still even with taller tires feels like it could have better gear ratio so I may go this route! Keep up the good work bud!

I was going to order one anyway as the sprockets are inexpensive, but I am just going to order your recommended sprocket.
