Tom, Regarding OEM parts, many of us mail order from Zanotti Motors; their prices are about 30% under the local dealers, even when you add in the cost of shipping.
http://www.zanottimotor.com/ Consult the manual or microfiche for specific part numbers and then e-mail John at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for price and availability. Hope this helps. atb Jeff B. -----Original Message----- From: tom walling [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 8:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: chain, sprocket, brakes I have been searching the archives for information on chain and sprocket upgrades/replacement and have a few questions. I have found that it is common to convert from the 532 to the 530 chain and sprockets. I have also found that we need a front sprocket with 17 teeth, a rear with 47 teeth and a chain with 118 links. DID seems to be a commonly used brand so I am thinking a DID 530 X-ring chain shich should be easy enough to find. My problem is the sprockets. If I look for GTS sprockets they all show 532. Do I look for FZR1000 sprockets with the required teeth numbers? Anybody have recommended brands or on-line stores to purchase from? I think I am also going to purchase a Hawker oiler to keep it all lubed up. Next I will need to be replacing my brakes. Are there as many different pad vendors and types as in the auto industry? What is recommended, just whatever I can get at the dealer? Or is there some place on-line that has them cheaper and/or better quality? One more request, are there any motorcycle parts web sites that are preferred? I am going to guess that there arent really any stores that specialize in GTS parts so what is the next best thing? Thanks for taking the time to read my newbie to the list questions. Tom __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
