Consider yourself lucky thats all it did and not blown out the chain case. I'd say your looking more around $200 +- for parts. Average 90 to 150 for the chain 50 for the top gear and whatever for the tensioner. Few tools and do it yourself.
I just blew my whole case up and quoted 970 for parts, I think i'm going to C3syncrodrive now at $30 more.

go on snowest there was one with an extra belt and carbon cover for 600,you might wanna different gear ratio but thats easy and cheap.I run this system and it kicks as@ ,super slick you can see if there is any issue just by opening your panel,no more oil..i would suggest gettin the sleave for the top sprocket also..

I guess i'm doing good at replacing them around every 3500 or every season. This last chain lasted maybe 1200km and I checked the tension the night before, but it was a low priced chain they brought in. Seemed really cheap too me.
