OEM or not?
Hi all,
When you tour so you insist on using OEM parts for your vehicle? I suppose for engine parts it is probably a good idea but having just been quoted for changing sprockets, chain, and brake pads as my Tornado is over 15,000k now, I have to say I am rather shocked! 250 USD for sprockets and chain - 80 USD for front brake pads on a XR 250!? I mean do Honda brake pads have some expensive property in them that others do not or is Honda just bumping its profit margins? Front brakes are critical obviously and I don't mind paying so long as its not a blatant rip off - what are your experiences?
Cheers!!!
