Bike Wreckers - Chain for MC22

[jetboy]

Hello people,

Im after a 428pitch 136link chain for an MC22 Honda CBR250 - don't need a new one.

Tried a few wreckers (Atomic, Bike Busters and Davey Motorcycles) but with no luck...can anyone recommend a good wrecker, or maybe someone might even have a spare!

Cheers!
Tim

False economy mate, just get yourself a new one.

Yeah I thought that would be the answer...but ~$280 is alot of dosh!
Suppose I should just suck it up.

If you're going to keep it, then definitely. Generally you replace the sprockets at the same time too.

where are you that it's that much for a chain?George the mc doctor quoted me 97$ about 6 months back for a chain for the mc22..i think cycletreads should only set you back about 160 or so as well?

^ Aw really?!

I asked a few companies (I won't name and shame as they look after me for other stuff) and I got $269 for a chain and sprocket set, and $280 for a chain only!

lol well think about that?it doesn't really make sense that it'd be more expensive for the set than the chain itself, even if it's a x link one compared with a heavy duty one...

RRP for an RK brand 428 O ring chain 136 link is $175.

Awesome - how is it that I spend all morning shopping around and only get prices over $250 when a short message to here gets me prices I can live with.

I went and bought another bike instead.
