What chain size does a Kawasaki KLX230 R ALF,BLF use?
GarageDex's manufacturer-catalogue data shows the 2020 Kawasaki KLX230 R ALF,BLF uses a 520 chain with 14-tooth front and 45-tooth rear sprockets from the factory. (108 links)
What is the stock gearing on a Kawasaki KLX230 R ALF,BLF?
14-tooth front and 45-tooth rear from the factory, part numbers front JTF1539RB, rear JTR460.
What changes if I go +2 teeth on the rear sprocket?
Going up 2 teeth on the rear sprocket (or down 1-2 on the front) lowers the gearing: quicker acceleration off the line, but a lower top speed, and the chain usually needs to be 1-2 links longer to keep enough wrap on the front sprocket - a shop or the sprocket's fitment chart will confirm the exact link count for that combination. This is a generic mechanical rule, not a claim about this specific model's aftermarket options.
How many links does a Kawasaki KLX230 R ALF,BLF chain have?
108 links at stock length and gearing, per the manufacturer catalogue.
