Where to find KLR 650 sprockets PERU?
G´day all and apologies if this has been previously posted.
Does anyone know where to buy sprockets for a KLR 650 ´C´ (I am paranoid, so I carry a spare chain). Currently in Ecuador (a days ride from Guayaquil) but assume Lima would be my best bet?
Perhaps I need to order these in advance from Kwakka in Quito?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as always.
Kind regards

Evidently the front sprocket is the same as the sprocket for a Honda (don't know which model). I got one from the Kawi / Honda dealer in La Serena, Chile, and was surprised that they are the same (this is like the original, with the rubber backing). In any event, there is a Honda dealer in Lima who should stock it. I was able to get brake pads from them, and those DON'T fit the Honda.
There is also a Kawasaki dealer listed in the Lima telephone book, but I went to both addresses listed and it didn't exist (they were office buildings).

Kawasaki spare parts in LIMA
Thanks for the info Steve. I had no luck with several bike stores in Lima, but I did manage to find ´CROSLAND TECNICA S.A´ via Kawasaki website (after sending Mike from Casablanca Hostel, Cali - awesome spot for bikers! - on a wild goose chase in Colombia).
Believe it or not, they had parts in stock dealers in Australia wouldn´t carry - exceptional stuff. Not only did I find sprockets, but also picked up a few waterpump spares.
So KLR riders needing parts in Lima:
CROSLAND TECNICA S.A
Av. Argentina 3250. Callao 1
Tel: 613-5272
The guy even spoke english.
