Is genuine Ducati chain / sprocket kit good value for £45?

[simons]

Been offered a chain/sprocket kit for the M1000 at £45. Is it worth it, or are there better/cheaper alternatives?

[slob]

not cheaper but definitely better... DID, EK, Tsubaki

Chances are if it "genuine" it could be an endless chain, you may end up taking the back end of the bike apart to fit it.

£45 is cheap, but the standard chain and sprockets are still rubbish. As Slob said, I'd go for Tsubaki similar.

I'd go for the heaviest duty gold x-ring I could find, it'll cost twice us much as a standard one but will last at least 3 times as long.

And don't forget to fit a scottoiler :idea:














Light blue touch paper and retire to a safe distance.

There are people advertising in MCN selling gold X-ring chain and sprocket kits for £80. That's where I will get mine from (And always have in the past)

Just for info Ducati chain & sprocket sold by the dealers tends to Be AFAM sprockets with DID O'Ring chain........

Personally I think not that crap.
