I’d agree with this - neither my 1198 (10k miles in 4 years) nor my 1299 (10,500 miles in three years) have needed their chains adjusting, despite both having quickshifters which are / were regularly used. It’s not that I don’t check them either, they just seem ok. The chain is well looked after though I’d say, lubricated regularly. |
My Viffer came fitted with a cheap, non O-ring chain, presumably because of the cost of 530 chains - needed adjusting every other week. Chucked an RK O-ring one on there with a JT front and Renthal rear sprockets that came with the bikes, and after the initial bedding in, it's not needed adjusting much at all. I do give it a tweak back and forth when I oil it and do tyre pressures as unsticking a stuck eccentric is decidedly not fun and not something I wish to repeat. It only takes maybe a minute to undo the pinch bolt, move eccentric back and forth, and do the pinch bolt back up. ____________________ '98 VFR800 (touring) - '12 VFR800 Crosrunner (Commuting) - '01 KDX220 (Big Green Antisocial Machine) |
