redxxrdr Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Probably close, If you use Honda OEM sprockets. I think I was at $275.00 with sprockets direct from a stealer, and a DID xmv? chain from a local shop. Many use aftermarket sprockets with good results. Check Ron Ayres and Service Honda for sprocket prices, White Buffalo Racing has good prices on chains and aftermarket sprockets. Don't forget the chain stake tool. If you can't borrow, you could pay another $100.00 or so for the tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, I went with the steel one but maybe someone will chime in here on weather it's worth the difference. :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, I went with the steel one but maybe someone will chime in here on weather it's worth the difference. :icon_think: I've never used alloy on a street bike but I'll go out on a limb here and guess the extra $35 buys you considerably less life and very minimal weight savings.

Dano Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 it's at the replace line too..... maybe i should. how much can i expect to pay to have the chain and sprockets replaced? $300? How many miles on your bike? Is it the original chain? (you can tell if all the rivets look the same then it's the factory chain). I just replaced my stock chain at 22K miles. The rear sprocket was fine. The front had slight wear so I replaced it. Aluminum, 5000 miles, Northman's bike- Wow that looks like shit..

I just replaced my stock chain at 22K miles. The rear sprocket was fine. The front had slight wear so I replaced it. 31k miles. i'm assuming it's not the original chain... it was on the bike when i bought it at 28k miles.

XXBIRD Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I make the axle bolt loose and count the rotation of adjsutment bolts in quarter turn increments. Usually about one full turn takes the slack off. I've verified few times at the beginning and don't even check anymore by measuring. Torque the axle nut back to spec, tighten the adjustment bolts and done.

XXMAN Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I always regrease my axel before reinstallion more lube is good if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G2 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Also....a 7/8" and 1 1/16" socket work just fine for the rear axle and nut. edit on the 1 1/8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warchild Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Aluminum, 5000 miles, Northman's bike- This pretty well sums up why steel sprockets is the only way to fly for the XX. Or for that matter, most any chain-drive bike that's pumping out 140-ish HP.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
