I have just been to buy a new Chain & Sprocket set for my 1989 XT600. As an Ex-Pat living in Spain, with a minimal (yes, its my fault, i know) grasp of the lingo, I sometimes feel as if the shops are taking the lend of me... which is all well and good, but 225 euros?????:nono: not even Izumi or DID!!! I politeley declined, I know I live 30km Inland, and that Elda is not a big town, but its big enough! 12-15,000 inhabitants, no need for rip off prices. anyway, to my point, i grabbed a copy of RIDE magazine sent to me by a friend and looking on the net ......found a company in the UK called Wemoto Home brilliant!!!!
i went nuts! New front wheel bearings, sprocket carrier bearings, tacho cable, 2 oil filters, DID Heavy ~Duty O ring Chain and Sprocket Kit, PLUS post and packing to Spain.......the total? 160.35 euros!:D not bad eh? and you can pay by card or paypal
HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE ELSE OUT TOO........
