Feck, I have 100+lbs-ft of torque, and I don't need to adjust my chain that often.

Not sure I'd go that far. I have 13k on my chain, about 20 track days, and have yet to need to adjust my chain. I clean and lube it when needed, but the tension has never needed adjustment. I think it speaks more for that chain than it does anything I'm doing (or not doing).

I don't think that it's scratched, it's just dirty, I got caught in the rain last night as well... Or it might have something to do with them being on two bikes for over 50,000 miles and 4 or 5 crashes... ![]() |

tigg... did you remember to loosen the axle bolt before tightening the chain? I almost did that the first time... and couldn't figure out why the fuck'n bolt was so damn tight. gave a little crank on the axle bolt, and it was much easier.

Pretty sure popping wheelies puts the most stress on a chain. So for those who don't pop wheelies, there won't be as much of a need to adjust the chain.

That and running it too tight. Your suspension will stretch your chain pretty quick for you if you don't have enough play in it.
