like the subj says - my old chain wear guard is toast - where to get a new one?

can I use a generic equivilant from a honda-suzuki-kawa something or other?

or do I need to visit the local dealer? anyone got a part #?
 
What year is your bike?
Always helpful to add it to your signature.

part # 120 052 01. seems to me to be a lot more expensive than it should be, but worth it when you factor in the effort required to modify something else to fit. call motoxotica.
the parts manuals and service manuals can be downloaded at www.husaberg.se

Where did you get the price information that seems to be more expensive than it should be???

Motoxotica has 'em in stock for $54 - guess that seems a little more than it should be - lol

anyway - I was actually thinking just cutting an old piece of tire tread to fit or something...

gilga,
Save yourself some grief and pony up the cash for the stock item. They usually last for thousands of miles. I suppose anther option would be to find someone who is parting out a bike.

old tire tread? That'll never work! sorry

I made one out of a rubber timing belt. Turned the toothed side facing against the swingarm. I have had good luck with that setup but if you want peace of mind and could afford it get the factory part.
 
I admit it may not be the prettiest part , but it will provide plenty of material to wear into.

UHMWPE - ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, perfect for a chain wear surface...one of the slickest anti-friction materials around (and machinable)...

For $54 you can have original part. But.......You are willing to spend time and effort to go to machine shop to fabricate that part from polyethylene that cost fortune. You guys are brilliant! Wood is just as easy to machine it as polyethylene is. And it cheap and it looks good too. If you change the way your brain operates you will be able to save money in your life to buy a new bike every few years.
 
we have the same plastic at work cut to length aswell i just help my self when i need one have a few in stock at home just in case

Cutting board: $2.50 USD at dollor general. 20 minutes work with a jigsaw, drill and a file.
It seemed like a low cost repair. but then again I guess my time could be worth 250.00 an hour. :lol:

All kidding aside it is not a factory piece , nor was it advertised to be anything more than a low cost solution to a broken chain gaurd problem.
 
I thought there was a dealer in my town...but not by the name of Dollar General! Good choice for raw materials! I'm on it! Ha Ha!!
 
We've made knee pucks for road racing out of those plastic cutting boards, a high-grade stapler and some velcro from arts & crafts stores like Michaels. No, they don't last more than a weekend, but if you've already got the stapler, you're into it maybe $4-$5 versus $20-$30 for store brand versions.

I would like to know ('cause I just ordered a new chain guide from motoxotica this morning) where I can get a few of the screws that mount it to the swingarm, as mine are chewed up and worthless. I guess I should have had MotoX send me a few, huh? I'll go slap my forehead now.
