Chain kit in Central A

Seems to be tough to get a chain kit in Guatemala (KTM 950).
Any ideas where it might be possible, El Salvador or further south?
Or do I have to order it in the States?
Thanks!

Surprising that you could not find anything suitable in Guatemala City.They are actually the importers for other CA countries too.
Have you hunted through all the scores of potential sources in the motorcycle zone of GT city around the "Eiffel Tower" where Z4 and Z9 meet ? Fancier stores are i outlying suburbs too.
There are tens of bike parts stores there and some industrial suppliers too.For instance FPK at 5 Ca 6-75 Z9 has loads of bike parts and generic supply of bike and industrial chains.
I suppose the stickler in the deal is that KTM sprockets have brand/model specific center bore size and bolt hole circles.
Surely the KTM importer must have some ideas for sourcing the bits

Leafing through a MOTO y BICI magazine I picked up at one of the GT City
bike shops this winter and I find an ad for the shop
Motolandia4All stating that they carry sprocket sets and chain for
KTM and other brands for model years 2000 and newer.
Their website info@motolandia4all.com
and shop address is 2a Calle"A" 11-97 Z15
Worth a look.

I know the shop. call them, but I am almost sure they won't have what you need, it is a Cross/enduro shop, and they don't stock much.

Thanks for the info!
After having tried several times on both numbers, a KTM-employee and me searched for the adress and found a house that is for sale, looks very empty and not business-like. Do not think it was only cause it was a saturday...
BUT: funny enough I got a message from Saralou who is in Boston, where even Mario from El Salvador is : ) and HE has the kit ; )
