Hello Cheers,


I think you're riding as a pussy, my friend. I changed last week my chain
after 17000km. Of corse, if I never would accelerate as fast as I can out of
the loops, my chain would be still ok.
Cheers Kudee


Accelerating out fast has nearly nothing to do with the lifetime of a chain.
One of the biggest problems is that people have adjusted the chain in a way that it is to tight. This kills the chain in notime.
Besides that the lifetime of the chain is drasticly reduced by wrong maintanance. Think about what sand can to between moving steel...

About accelerating:
Oke, you are right that I'm not always accelerating as fast as possible. But that's only because I always wait before the engine is on temperature.
But of course you may say that I drive like a pussy, but you can try me out some time and we will see who's the real pussy......

By the way, you then have a perfect view of the back of my exhaust.
