Guest rockmeupto125 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 If your dealer changed your rear sprocket with a Honda rear, you probably don't need it changed yet. Examine it closely. Your dealer can order you the parts. Or you can order the Honda parts from RonAyers or Hondadirectline. You will get a discounted price on OEM merchandise from those outlets, but you may wait a few days to a few weeks for those parts. Kiernanracing.com is in NJ, but their website catalog doesn't come up for me right now. Perhaps others might chime with their local favorites...there's enough of you out on the island. Otherwise, you might peruse our vendors section for some recommendations. Most folks don't use the stock Honda sprockets due to the cost. Front AFAM sprockets are typically not much over $20. No dire effect has been noted from using them, but many riders report more chain whine with using an undampened sprocket. Aluminum rears tend to wear very quickly, and have been noticed to spit out teeth under strong acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborneXX Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 The stealer near me in Bridgeton NJ wanted around $250 for the Honda chain kit. 2 Honda sprockets and a D.I.D. chain. I would spend the extra money and get the Honda sprockets. Are you the same Mack that helps Bob in his endeavors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXTi Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Be aware that the Honda chain kit may have a DID ZVS chain in it. It's a good chain, but it's not the same as the commercially available DID ZVM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beondwacko Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Kiwi, Where on Long Island are you located? I was dealing with Fun Wheels Honda out in Medford on Rt112. Decent people and OK prices. Stay away from Freeport Honda on Sunrise Hwy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
