India, Amritsar: spare parts / workshop
Hi!
Can anybody recommend a workshop / motorcycle shop in Amritsar, where we might be able to get
- a 525-chain with at least 118 units
- front sprockets for a XL700 (same as XL600/650 and XRV 650/African Twin).
- tires 130/90-17 and 100/90-19
The chain is urgent. Sprockets and tires are nice to have.
Has any body experience, if it is possible to order these things in Dehli (to Amritsar) and how long it might take?
Thanks in advance & greetings from Ladakh!
Panny

Whatever you do, stay away from the KTM workshop in Amritsar. They will tell you they can get parts / fix your bike but they can't. My bike was there for 2 weeks, I got them all the parts from Dubai and they still couldn't fix it (had to get my bike to Delhi on the back of a truck...). I did get some parts sent from Delhi to Amritsar by a mate based in Delhi. It does work but can take a while. They promissed overnight but it took 5 days... Good luck!

Hi Jeroen,
thanks for the advice! Most welcome as usual.
I´m not surprised, that they where not able to repair your bike, since they have nothing but the 200ccm Duke. If you work each day on the same modell...
We wasted a whole day going from mc-dealer to mc-dealer: usually they asked for which motorcycle brand is was and didn´t understand that chains are not brand-typical. Really frustrating.
Meanwhile I think there´s no 525-chain in a proper length available in this city. :confused1:
Maybe we are more lucky in Lahore (PK)...
Cheers
Panny

I can recommend Shumail!
He really made some efforts to help us -> finally got us parts from GB in decent time.
Warning: stay away from Hi-Speed (Zafar Usman Khan).
The guy was recommended by some local HUBB-member and turned out to be a cheater! Tried to sell us a used chain for new + other negative things.
Cheers
Panny

Hi Panny,
Chains of all sizes and lengths are available in Lahore as long as you know where to look for. Don't worry.
