Title: Local shops are letting me down
Post by: ebers17 on April 26, 2005, 01:41:14 PM

I just wanted to vent here a second, the first race of my area hare scramble series is this sunday.  After riding yesterday, i chewed up my rear sprocket and need one before sunday.  I called every local kawasaki shop within 50 miles of me (6 of them) and none of them had any sprockets.  How bizare is that, no shops have any sprockets, and those sprockets are the same as most kx250's and every other model almost.  It just bums me out that these shops are so poorly stocked or they're just giving me the round-about on the phone, which is what i think is happening. :evil: It's happend before with even a simple clutch cable too.

Tell me about it.  I'm trying to find a steel 45 tooth sprocket for my 500.
