Posted: Apr 03, 2003 10:38 am Post subject: Dealership or do it yourself |
|
|
I just got this motorcycle and I need to put a new chain on it. The chain isn't the master clip kind, it has a master link that you use a special tool that smashes the pins, I believe its called "staking." Anyhow, the special tool is like $60 and the dealership only charges $20 to put the new chain on.
So it'd be cheaper just to have them do it, but I'm kind of worried since they have to loosen the rear wheel, use this tool correctly on the new chain, set the tension correctly on the chain, make sure the wheel is on a straight, and properly tighten the wheel on. It may be too much for them and I don't want to find ot they screwed it up whilst I'm enjoying my new ride, so I'm thinking I should do it myself, even though it costs more.
My questions is how many people out there would pay more in this situation to do it themselves? I think most people would just have the dealer do it...I just ordered the special tool. I don't trust them...

i bet since they are a dealer they might have someone there that knows what they are doing.
Get them to do it and watch them. i watch everyone that does work on my stuff, most places don't mind.
