Does anyone make a rear sprocket for the stock 76 Kz900 wheel that is larger than 35 teeth?

If not already considered, a feasible alternative might be to fit a smaller countershaft sprocket (instead of a larger rear sprocket).

Thanks Patton! Didn't think of that. Do I need to change chain sizes going to 14/35 from 15/35?

Z1Enterprises sells sprockets in many different sizes. Although going down to a 14T front sprocket is an option, it would be better to go bigger on the rear. Smaller front sprocket wears out the chain faster. Sprocket Specialsts have them from 30T-52T for $69.95-$99.99.

Existing 630 chain should be just fine.

This will improve acceleration from stop or crawl speed, and is great fun for playing around, but make for a very busy cruising rpm.

Good Luck! :)

Shop around, I saw tons of "stock type" rear sprockets made of steel that have MORE teeth than stock amount. It's when you want to go to a smaller than stock rear that you have to grab your ankles and pay +$70 for a special cut aluminum sprocket.
