They will be able to put you on to a genuine dealer they are soooooo many fakes out there even the selaers are being caught.

Renthal sprockets tend to be a little expensive as you pay for the name and the fact there a little lighter than OE
OE front is the way i tend to go as it quieter than the JT front i tried or the renthal front. i did have a renthal rear but now use a JT as they are fair priced and last well
chains is where it realy matters much more than what sprockets imo
as said above there are a lot of fakes around right now and some have been known to fail at very low milage and in a BIG way.
OE DID is ok or Tsubaki i think it was called i used that was very good (the soft link is very hard though and needs a GOOD chain tool to fit yourself)

Thanks guys spoke to Maxxis and they were a great help , got a quote from one dealer they recommend for just a chain of 246, Ouch! :'(
Spoke to intobikes and 175 for did chain and sprockets and 160 for renthal srs chain and sprokets. Anyone had any experience of Renthal srs chains ?
