Who else has a separate countershaft sprocket for winter/snowbike use?

[Ben 500RR-S]

I realized last night that it is probably a very good idea to get a new 13T countershaft sprocket to go with the new Regina 520 0-ring chain for my DTS 129 kit.

I am going to get a new CS sprocket and domed washer from GetDirtybikes.com to go along with the new chain.

Anyone else do the same?, or do you just use the sprocket till it is done?

Not even sure if youre just trolling at this point but what the heck. Here goes. Probably 15 bucks well spent. I didn’t worry about mine because it only had 5 hrs on it when i swapped.
To answer your next couple questions: yes you should have two silencers because you dont need a spark arrester in the winter, yes you need two seats because you sit pretty much all the time on a snowbike, and yes you will need a different set of gloves. Hope this helps?. Man, you and i both need some snow soon.

I ordered a new 13T sprocket just now.

I got my bike 02/22/2017 and it now has 2,000 miles and 200 hours and I realized that I shouldn't run the new chain on the used sprocket so for $32 shipped, a new CS sprocket is on the way.

I had ordered straight from the Beta USA website. Beta is just so small, unlike KTM or the big Jap 4, that the price is just nowhere near low, yet but the prices are still not in the exotic realm.

As the bike is a Dual Sport, now a Triple Sport, I ride it to and from work, about a 12 mile daily roundtrip any day it is not raining so probably 75% of the miles/hours are just street and NOT dirt. I would trade all the miles/hours for just 25% more dirt but at least I still get to ride the bike during the week till I can get to the dirt.

Yes, next is just to get an entire, new bike so I don't have to swap, but if I did, there would be nothing much to see on this forum.

Don't worry, this time is like going to the Lamaze classes. Soon the baby will come and it will all be over.
