Chain problem

<< < (2/13) > >>

mike the bike:
It happened on my GS1000, Don't risk it.

MCTID:
Some years ago I had my ZXR1200 (I know...... I'm sorry) in for a service at Fins in Redhill. When I picked it up and was paying, there was a chap at the counter bemoaning his bad luck that his Aprillia Mille had thrown its drive chain and locked the rear wheel on the M25 when he was doing about 100MPH. Luckily when it blew the tyre and see sawed down the road he managed to stay on and he lived to tell the tale. I could see that the Service Receptionist was a bit peeved at this Guy as he just wanted to scrounge the loan of a 19mm Allen Key to fix his bike, so he calmly mentioned that he should have followed my good example when having my bike serviced and that I had asked them to change my 12K mileage chain for a new one. I just smiled and said that £80 was a small price to pay for piece of mind. The Guy looked a bit sheepish and promptly shut up.

Moral of the story: is your life worth the price of a new chain and/ or sprockets. You're dead right it is.
