I do 50 miles a day as well.
Replaced chain at 19k miles with Gold DID chain, BMW standard front 17 tooth sprocket and at the rear BMW 45 tooth from 2012 model. Was livelier at the beginning.

I was looking at all the fancy "brand whore" sprockets and chains. Ended up going with JT Sprockets and Gold X-ring Chain. £80
Well the bike is in for a new rear swing arm and have been told the chain and rear sprocket need replacing at 9000 miles and that the calipers need cleaning again?
where did you get your chains and sprockets from?
cheers

Thats what I bought, not fitting until Jan when I'll be doing alot of work on bike. Sprocket is of equal quality and chain is of equal tensile strength as original. So should last 10,000 miles at a minimum. The OEM chain is pooh so anything is a step up.
And if you want the larger rear sprocket that the 2012 model has, just put that in a message when buying it and they will send that out.

£280 ouch.
But thats probably sticking to BMW's 50% mark up.
Just ordered Front wheel bearings and seals from 3rd party was £17.80, Rear bearings and seals had to get from BMW £40.80. We all know rear bearings are more expensive but not that kind of hike up.
It's the £60 an hour labour charges that turn my stomach. Especially since they would of probably classed Chain and sprocket as an hour labour, when 15/20 minutes would be ample. And if they charging you 30 minutes labour then that makes the £280 for chain and sprocket even more horrifying

How many miles has your bike done Ross?
One hour to change a chain and sprocket on an S1000RR is fair. 15-20 mins is rushing.
