It turns about 800 rpms less in top gear. Gonna take it out for a trail ride shortly. I think 1st gear is still low enough for low speed trail situations but will find out soon.

Spaz, how did that sprocket work out ? Do you have the part # ?

Thanks !!

The sprocket worked great. i may try the 42 tooth next time but i'm happy with the 44 for now. It lowered the rpm's at cruise. I think I'm turning about 6200 at 55mph now. That's doable. Call JP Motorsports in CA. you can find the number online. They'll set you up. Good luck. Let me know how you make out!!

Thanks Spaz, much appreciated !

I have the qingqi200gy, same bike. I ordered a 16 tooth countershaft sprocket for it and it's great. Go to sprocketspecialties.com and get a 16t for the DR200. I think its part number 550-16. Still has plenty of pull in top gear and i weigh about 210lbs. Now first gear seems to be somewhere between the old 1st and 2nd, closer to 2nd Id say. Could even afford to drop another one or two teeth in the rear but if you do any offroad i wouldn't. My dad took it out today and he weighs around 145 and it's like a rocket with him on it, well not a rocket but plenty quick! Love this bike i keep finding myself on it more than my DR650.

Thanks big irish, I'm gonna check out that website !!!

Ok I'd hate to resurrect a old thread but the 1981 suzuki TS125 has the exact right fitment to front and rear as long as you get the front sprocket without the lip or washer.

Yea that sprocket is applicable for a ton of suzuki bikes if you go to sprocketspecialists.com and look up suzuki sprockets you'll see about 25 bikes that use the part number 550-??. Now that I've got some miles on this 16t with the stock back sprocket Id really like to drop a couple in the rear cause it still has plenty of low end pull(for a 200 that is).

Can someone tell me What Year DR200? I can onnly find 14 and 15tooth sprockets. Can anyone post a LINK to a website please where I can order up the 16t front sprocket for a 2009 Qlink XF200? Greatly Appreciated, as I have had no luck what so ever.

Thanks

Andrew

I think the guys are saying that this one fits: http://jetsrus.com/a_sprocket/sprock...alist_550.html (which is off a DR125 in those charts)

The 550-16 that I got had the lip on it that I had to grind off. Seems that some come with the lip and others with a spacer?????
