i will be happy to ask them about it. i wonder if you have access to money orders or travelers checks? i would recommend sending them one of those.

they will be able to cash it with money in hand. i don't know the details but they have been burned more than once by international credit card fraud.

i agree it would open them up to more business and all. i know they have a thriving ebay store so they are not new to global commerce. my feelings are that is where they have had problems with hooligans. they are just a single shop dealership not a chain that can swallow losses like that.

i have contacted the dealership and will relay their response!!!

forchetto,

well i guess i argued your points well enough for them to consider getting one out to you. your persistence is paying off!!!

they said to have you email them. i did mention your offer to connect them with your importer contact. hopefully it will pan out for everyone.

glad to see you have found alternate places for sprockets. i have heard of that bike but was unable to confirm that the sprockets fit.

either way it is great to have one that definetly fits as it is made specifically for this machine. at least for american buyers!!!

i wonder how the 42 tooth one werks? if it is ok with the 16 tooth front sprocket? maybe i will go to that once i get this 44 tooth worn out!!!

Great. Thanks. I'll contact them mentioning your name and arrange whatever method of payment they prefer.

Now that we know those Suzuki sprockets will fit, we can do searches for other sources of supply and come up with a NYLON (!) one, like this 43 tooth:



It's on scam-bay item number 180130858112

wat in the sam hill? i know some forms of plastic are stronger than steal but give me a break!!!

I've been looking into this and find manufacturers claim the following as advantages:

* Reduced wear on chain
* No lubrication required
* Corrosion and chemical resistance
* Lightweight – low inertia forces and easy to handle and fit

Sounds good. However, out there in the real world the consensus is that they don't last long...

i would say that does sound good. with this particular motor and power it would be fantastic if we could get something to increase the power.

this will be something i will let others try first!!! but i am very interested in if it is reliable.

when i upgrade my chain i will be going with the sidewinder "smart chain". they offer a line of sprockets that are guaranteed to never wear out. i emailed them to see if they would make a sprocket for this bike and they never replied. i never followed up but i did not feel i needed to.

but i did put an older version on my quad before it was stolen a few years back. so i guess i can plug them!!! i was happy with that.

anyway jp made it easy. so i just went with them. i just had to wait till they actually had them manufactured.

i honestly was not in a rush to do the rear for fear of power loss but i am so happy i did it.
