New Chain Required - SV650.org

My chain is looking really unwell after the winter stood in the garage. I am going to replace it but not sure whether to get a standard Suzuki item fitted or another one? Suzuki wand 1 hour labour and ?130 for chain and sprockets which I thought reasonable or am I too easy going !!!
its SV650 K3 naked.

If that's a quote for OE stuff fitted then it's not too dear.
You could certainly buy cheaper, but good stuff is worth paying for.

?50 is for the hours labour for chain and sprockets fitted.
Sounds like I should book it then.
Actually the chain and sprocket set is only ?109.00 so its even better. You can see the set here if its of interest http://www.robinsonsfoundry.co.uk/sh..._k5/index.html

That might be a pretty good deal. When I looked into changing the chain & sprockets the OE chain is endless which requires removal of the swingarm - so for an hours labour thats pretty good.

Dont know if the OE chains are still endless tho?

Would be a good time to ask them to grease the swingarm bearings too...
