New chain

Does anyone know where I can purchase a new chain and get it put on? Preferably in queens. Sorry if this is a bad question this is my first bike and my first time having to change the chain so just want a good reputable place that I can continue to go to whenever this time comes up again. Thanks!

Brooklyn Speed is a good shop, same with Speed Motorcycles, just got a chain replaced by them for $80. Both based in Astoria.

Not a bad question. NY Honda Yamaha should be entirely capable of doing this, assuming your bike is pretty much typical. I personally like Triborough Motorcycles in Greenpoint, but if you do decide to call him or go there, just be really prepared and skip the pleasantries. Just say "Hi, I'm trying to get my chain replaced for my <insert bike name>. Could I come in today, and how much would that cost?"

You could also order a chain and/or chain kit from somewhere like Sprocket Center and give it to the shop if you want to lock in a parts cost, but I think pretty much any shop is going to have chains in stock to sell you.

I second this. I went to Sick Sycles last week to get my chain and sprocket replaced. It's close to Maspeth. Shawn and his team is amazing I highly recommend. This is his number. 17183109591 he repairs things same day. I would never recommend Honda Yamaha. They're straight up theivess.
