Anyone know of an aftermarket (Read "Cheap") source for these? I've checked most of the online parts dealers and haven't had much luck.

The KLR600/650 balancer chain appears to be P/N 92057-1158, with a description of "BF06HX" or "BF06HX70L", $209.70 @ Ron Ayers. The "06" and "70L" may be 3/8" chain pitch and 70 chain links, respectively, (The Tsubaki website refers to an automotive special high performance timing chain, BF04M - Special Simplex Chain, for example; http://tsubakimoto.com/products/auto/timing_chain.html). The 2005 Kawasaki VN2000 balancer chain appears to be P/N 92057-0028, with a description of "DID 06HD (F) SDH", $51.22 @ Ron Ayers. If the two chains have similar specifications, it might be possible to resize one or two VN2000 chains to get one KLR chain fo less $$$. A lot of if's though. Contacting Tsubaki and DID may provide more info. FWIW Jim A17

To add to Jim's info, 5 yrs ago I sourced a balancer chain through a Canadian Kawasaki dealer with the help of Steve Pye for about one half of what they charge here, although last I heard the price savings is not as great. Try a Canadian Kawasaki dealer. Conall
