Im after a chain and sprocket kit for my 01 zx6r. Cant get any off trademe. What online bike stores do we have in NZ that i can order off? Or where else could i source them from at a reasonable price.
I really want to have a look around at kits and find a heavy duty kit or something of good quality but in my price range. Im not after 'just a cheap kit' if you get what i mean.
Any recommendations?
Cheers guys

Hmm about $600NZD for a kit from those guys. Looks like a good bit of kit though.

Not bad ae. Found them in aussie so might get an alright shipping cost. Im trying to keep cost down to around 4-500 for full kit so Ill see what happens.

Well right now with the supersprox stealth front and rear sprocket its $165 aussie dollars before shipping. Next issue is finding a GOOD chain to go with it all.

Not bad,shipping should be bugger all,cheapest option would be the slow boat but na bugger that.Should be plenty of local places to find a decent chain,take my word for it those sprockets are bloody good,never understood why i havent seen more around on bikes here.

I was trying to find out what chain i need. Bike manual says 108 links but dont know if its a 525 or 520 how would i find that out?

A phone call to your local Kawasaki shop will sort that mate.

Found out its 525 standard. How would i go if i were to get the stealth supersprox sprockets. And then get a good named 530 chain? Would i be looking at a very reliable combo? And what sort of ring chain should i go for. An X or and O ring.
Sorry for the questions this is my first time looking and buying my own chain and sprockets. And want to get some good stuff on the bike.

To be honest mate when i bought my sprockets i just went down to my local Suzuki dealer and bought a new chain off them and put it on,very happy with the results so thats what i will do next time (way off im guessing) i need to replace the chain.Am planning on the sprocket seeing 3 chains off.

Might be a good time to mention My bikes got a scottoiler on it and last chain and sprockets has been on for well over 3 years of riding apparently. Do i need to get an x ring or could i get an o ring and be sweet?
