oldgoat Posted July 31, 2014 #1 Posted July 31, 2014 took my bike over to a dealer today. was looking to buy chain wax. mike EUSA1 told me about this stuff thought I would give it a try. saw the dealer Kawasaki dealer by the way and not Honda. was doing a inspection service for a donation for cancer. so I gave them $10 bucks he goes around my bike checked things out came back to me and said your chain has a few stiff links? now I know I oil that chain every 500 miles and I just did it before the root beer run. come to find out he is right. he said cost to replace the chain and sprockets will cost close to $200 installed? I have no place to perform this myself as I know I can. he said I need to upgrade to a gold chain? cost $125 plus tax. and I should switch out the stock 41 rear sprocket to a 38. as it will give better performance ? that sprocket comes with a standard 17 teeth front sprocket as that is the only one that can go on the front. that price is close to $60 for that set. and he will go half on labor since I donated to cancer fund. he did lube the chain for me and adjusted it and said I got maybe another 600 miles on that set. I hope this is a good price? as I have seen the standard chain and sprockets here at JC whitney for a total of $120 bucks. but that dealer says he wont install parts he don't order?
