mxrob My Rides (2) Posted March 20, 2010 Looking at rear sprockets and the one im interested in says its for dr650 yrs 99-06.....is there any difference from 06-09??? as my bike is a 09 Thanks, VT 96-2010 are the same. 👍 Lots of manufacturers don't keep up with what year fits what... especially in the broken record/residual haunting type vehicles like the DR650SE. They are like dinosaurs that span millions of years.🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomit Posted March 20, 2010 I have a 2006 and the rear sprocket is 42 tooth; I believe the later models have a 41 tooth rear sprocket. Should be interchangeable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vtdirtroad Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks...thats exactly what I thought, but figured I should double check.....going up to a 44T rear..should aluminum be ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NordieBoy Posted March 21, 2010 Basically: 42t USA, 41t Rest of World (for various definitions of both USA and RoW). Don't go alloy on a thumper! I like 15/44 with the standard 110 link chain - Same as 14/41. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vtdirtroad Posted March 21, 2010 I already dropped to a 14T front, not enough for me...so up I go in the rear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
