After 25.000 miles, my bike was making some noise from the chain. It was loose, and everytime i was fixing it, it lasted onlu a couple of days. I took it to my garage and new transmision kit (chain plus two sprockets), 156 usd...plus work 100 usd...thats makes a total of 250 usd for the complete repair....the real cost were 200 eur, heheheheh.
Is it more expensive at this part of the atlantic, or cheaper?
Regards from Spain...

I work that out at about 125 miles per euro..

25,000 miles on the chain?
that sounds pretty good!
is that fairly common to get that many miles out of a chain on these drifters?

Nono...the changed chain was no the original one. That means that a change each 20.000km is fairly common....

 ;)  I had mine replaced at 24188 kms 15030.137 miles, I was also told that they were original parts, so I called the PO and checked, up he never replaced them. so they were original parts. I did not get off as easy as Gerhardberger on the cost. I paid $49.98 per sprocket, and then $180.00 for the chain, then $160.00 for labour, so with taxes and out the door I paid $464.33, but if I can ge the same usage out of the sprockets and chain I'll be really happy.
