I had read someplace that the original sprocket is 20mm wide and the jt sprocket is 18mm wide. There is some side to side play but watching some vids about sprocket replacing on honda 250's this seems to be pretty standard.. Just checking with you all.

I recently changed the sprocket on my Kawasaki KLR650 to a 17t that normally went on the KLX600 (I think)... but during my research I found dozens of people reporting 'Leaks from the Shaft' showing up after several thousand miles of use (3 or 4k), and it was only on the motorcycle that DID NOT 'measure and shim' the sprocket(s).
Come to find out the 17t sprocket is 3mm or so smaller (width), those who put a few shims on with the sprocket had NO leaks from the same area, one guy reported having over 40k miles with a shimmed 17t and no leaks. Good news, if you get a leak from that shaft, the gasket/o-ring is cheap to replace (even on a Kawasaki)

So why is the part # for the rear sprocket JTR269 and the front JTF259? I did find a JTF269...which is the right front sprocket?

JTR269 (the R is for rear) is the correct rear sprocket, assuming the bike has the standard Honda XL185 bolt pattern 428 sprocket. There is no such sprocket as JTF269, according to http://www.jtsprockets.com/

Ok, thanks Weld. I thought I found a 269 front on Google but you just confirmed I ordered the right one.

anyone tried a 17/47 combo?
the TT comes with 17/50 stock and I've only really seen people with either 17/50 or 17/45 combinations. its only 20$ so might have to try it.
