I know we just had a thread about The Fleecing of Kawasaki Owners in the parts department, but I just gotta know this. I went to the dealer to pick up a couple oil filters, and out of curiosity asked how much a replacement countershaft sprocket would cost me..... $42.50 and special ordered!! OMFGWTFROFLcopters

My friend's '02 Ninja 250's CS sprocket was a whopping 12.99. Please tell me that everybody else with an 09 (or I guess 07 and back) are being quoted this ridiculous price and that the lady at the parts desk wasn't that effing stupid SLASH the stealership markup that high.

 

Definately a little over the top, I just checked Babbits online and they want $30.01 for the stock OEM 14 tooth sprocket....still steep but not over the top.

 

i just paid $35 at bike bandit.

 

I've given my dealership three chances, they stock absolutely nothing for my KLX. I have found that if I have to have the OEM part, it is cheaper to order from www.ronayers.com. Even with shipping, the part costs less, and since it's delivered to my door, I save the expense of another trip to the dealer too.

 

I think my honda sprocket cost me around $12

 

Yeah RM lists the Primary Drive 14T for Honda XR650L for like 8.99. No way in hell I'd pay 5x that price for the "Kawasaki" part.
