Hi.

I've been lurking here for over a year while I searched for a VFR.  I just bought a 1998 VFR--my first Honda, and my first bike with chain drive.  The rear sprocket looks slightly worn, and the chain has some surface rust.  I expect that I'll need new sprockets and chain.  Can anyone recommend good products and where to buy them?

PS: I haven't brought the bike home yet, so no pix are available.  I'll post as soon as I can.

Thanks,
SAW, Getzville, NY (Buffalo)

Congrats on the best year VFR, and welcome.

Got my last chain & sprocket set from these guys: http://www.drivesystemsusa.com/ 16K miles on 'em so far, and still in great shape. I went with a 16 tooth front rather than the stock 17, and I'll keep it this way despite the slight penalty in fuel mileage.
