Well had a new chain put on yesterday. Went with the RK. Brought the bike to my local guy and he put it on in a flash. $95 installed. Is that good?

Anyway he showed me how to do it, but I would need the rivet tool to do it. Are they expensive? Is it worth buying one, or just pay the $15 to have him put it on each time?

What do you think?


Ken

You changed the chain but not the sprockets ?

Put new sprokets on about 8,000 miles ago. Still look great.

Ken

:shock: That's too cheap. Which chain??

that is too cheap. even buying the correct chain off the net is more expensive, i think i paid around 130ish for my did. you really need to check with him and find out what chain he used. maybe it is just one hell of a good deal, or maybe he used an inferior chain :shock: .

we all hope its just a good deal :grin: .

I'll take 20 at that price. My dealer's cost is a lot more than that for the heavy-duty one (530GXW I think).

I think it was a 530XSO but will have to check with him. I know it was not the 530GXW.

Check what it is and the load rating. Breaking a chain usually has some pretty disastrous consequences.

I have a new GXW Heavey Duty in the box waiting to go on....It cost me 140-ish.

I just bought the DID tool--$115 but worth every penny---Yes it easily punches out the old link

Thank you!

I have the $85 MotionPro tool from JCWhitney. Works great!

JC Whitney. Did not think of them.

Thanks,

Ken

Yeah, well. The more I think of it, maybe it was $87? :???:

I just paid $132 for RK GXW. 95 sounds to cheap. What RK did you get?
