VFR80025th Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hey guys I found a chain and sprocket kit by RK for $200 (Can$) brand new in packaging from a private seller near me. RK530XSOZ1 RK Ring Chain 110 - I'm not sure but is this for the links. Rear sprocket has 8 and 10mm holes - VFR is 10mm right? Looks like a great deal to me - cash. Whats your take? I will probably wait til end of summer to install and use up current chain and sprockets. Thxs and ride safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted June 20, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted June 20, 2018 Not that great of a deal, Amazon has the same kit for $168.74 with free shipping. I found a few other places with similar prices. But Canadian may make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR80025th Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hey thanks. I took a look and have seen lower on Amazon too. $165 DID Chain & Sprocket. Inititally I thought the RK kit was a deal but it may not be. The DID kit for $165 seams reasonable although my rear sprocket will not look stock. Honda wants $126 Canadian for the rear sprocket alone. Thxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted June 20, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted June 20, 2018 Now this is just my opinion, but I would go with DID before RK. I had an RK chain on my FJ and didn't get anywhere near the mileage out of it that I got with the DID. Could have been a number of reasons, but I've stayed away from RK since then.

VFR80025th Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 I've always heard DID and RK are about the same quality. $200 Canadian is about $150 US so it probably is a decent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I had heard too, which was why I bought the RK, and it was readily available and the DID had a wait. I just had a bad experience with it.

Urbanengineer Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Good deal ^. Pretty hard to pay retail in the internet generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
