New chain and Sprockets.

Man the costs never end!

Well ive written up a list of good bits which was a DID 525ZVM 106link X2-link... better than standard X-type apparently. That £105 ($210) and the sprockets (both renthal) are £50 ($100)... £160 total inc delivery. A fair amount!

My chain atm is needing adjusting ALL the time http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/i...s/confused.gif

I think the only thing making it even usable is the scottoiler. http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/i...es/burnout.gif

Anyway what do you think? Should I spend a load on this or go for something else?

Im thinking of ringing these to see what the craic is... £80 for a 12000 miles guaranteed X-ring chain aint bad at all! Especially if I can pick it up as Sheffield is just down the road.

Cheers for any feedback. http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/i...lies/smile.gif

Re: New chain and Sprockets...

Standard x-ring chain & sprockets inc fitting for me is £126. The kit on the website is £80.

Regular maintenance (or a scottoiler) on a standard chain will give 12-15k miles on an SV happily, so the gurantee is pretty much pointless IMO.

I do need to get a compressor with airgun, and a chain rivetter though at some point, save on the fitting costs.

Oh so you can't do the chain yourself without the rivetter?

If you do a lot of miles then it might be worth investing in a rivet tool. It would save in the long run. Or maybe just borrow someone elses (my Dad just does mine for me).

Also I don't think he'll get 12k miles out of a chain on a 1000cc V-Twin :p .

Nope, I have one for the kids push bikes, just haven't got a motorbike one yet.

£50 for the tool, and it would save me (given the prices so far in this thread) £30 every time I changed the chain. However, the front sprocket is generally a beggar to get off, so may need a compressor & impact gun, which are expensive. :(

Just been shopping for battery powered impact wrenches actually (mainly for another job, but it'll do)... just purchased a nice DeWalt 36v one. T'wasn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but it also wasn't me paying. :D

Tool p*rn as I know a few on the .Org like that sort of thing...

Yea, they don't quite cut the mustard when you're helping to build/strip armed trucks though. :thumbsup:
