I agree with you on all points there, I was considering the cheaper sprockets, but maybe just waiting for the ktm's is better, would hate to ruin a good chain just to save $70.
My sprockets seem good enough to last a bit longer, but my chain I have my doubts about. I am away riding next weekend so I will just have to chance it (its ok I have AA Plus membership). I guess taking it easy on the throttle should help things (not that I am ever overly harsh).
I was thinking just buying a cheapest 520 chain (about $120) and running that till its bung, but with careful lubrication and gentle throttle work I might get that distance out of my old chain.
For reference, here are my chian/sprockets. I notice the front looks quite worn in the photo, that will be my eyes deceiving me I guess.
