did anyone using the 15t front sprocket have any problems getting the case saver to fit, it seems i may have to grind some of it down to make it fit. if anyone has any solutions please let me know.

thats odd, mine fit just fine too

Mine was too close for me to feel comfortable. It did fit, but barely. I was worried that if it caught on the chain it would be more trouble than grindin it down a little. I ground mine back about a medium sharpy pen width. I drew a line with the pen on both sides to make sure it was even.

i got the kx450 dirtbike sprocket from rockymountain, it just seems like the fit will be way too close. what did you use to grind it down?

saw the same thing with the kx450 15t i used a 0.040 shim behind it, this helps center it properly

I just used a bench grinder to trim it up. You could use what ever you have, bench grinder/angle grinder with a vise. Just go slow and will look nice.

There has been alot of talk about the gearing not being right on the kfx450. The latest dirtwheels said they solved it by going down a tooth to a 37 on the rear but I've always heard that 1 tooth on the front is about 3 on the rear. How does the front 15t affect the gearing? I race XC and while I don't get into many 5th gear situations, I don't want to lose the race because of something as simple as a sprocket change.

I just added a 15 tooth renthal front. It fit good and did not rub, but i do have a pro design case saver installed. I will be running it this weekend. i will let you know how it does for me. Yes 3 in the back does about equal 1 in the front. Going to a 15 or going down on the rear sprocket will add top speed and also make each gear alittle longer too.

The 15 was great ........ i was only looking for 6th a couple times in the big bowls. I will be going to a 15/36. I think that the 15/36 combo will be perfect for me.

Good deal, I'll be doing the same.

Seems to me that it would just make first gear a little longer wouldn't it? All the rest would just be faster.

Every gear will be longer by going up on the front or down on the rear. The 15/38 worked great with my current mods. The bike flies now no question, but i will have cams and a ported head. The bike will be PERFECT for me with the 15/36.

Have the 15t Primary Drive sprocket from Rocky Mountain, fit looked close but so far no problems.
