Prices !!!
11 May 2019 07:36
I know some of you wont agree but come on the prices for some of these parts are ridiculous!
Z1 900 cam chain tensioner $62.00 .. clearly this thing cost about $12 to make ...
Cam chain idler sprockets $90 ×2 = $180.. theses 17 tooth sprockets not bigger then a silver dollar..I could go on but why ...

A little bit but won't come apart like the stock "rubberized" ones. That's how I busted a cam chain out here 60 miles from a Kawasaki dealer in 78. While I was in there I went with the Wiseco K 1015. Had to replace the stock rollers twice since then until 98 when I parked it. In 13 I had to do it all again but this time I got the Liska setup. It still has the front guide and rubberized center roller that must be replaced each time the head comes off. Got over 80,000 miles on it now so this time I will change the chain also.

If you think those prices are expensive then don't ever buy a sports car. The s-line specific parts on my wifes summer car are more like 5x what the almost identical non s-line parts cost.

What price would make you happy? And would it make the seller happy? This is why I love eBay. Easy platform for real values to emerge.
