Its a 22k chain, probably lived its life. I think a rock got between it and the sprocket and tweaked it

22k is pretty cool I guess.

Must be all that horsepower

I'm not complaining, but damn, the chain wasnt even close to the end of its stretch. And yes the massive amounts of horsepower is known quite well in KLR circles for tearing chains into pieces

It's the power that gets the chain! I did the same thing on mine with an O-ring chain and just happened to capture it on video!
