bladerunner 0 Posted December 27, 2014 personally I wouldn't risk a cheap no name chain, if it snaps on you it can wreck your engine casings, wrap itself around your leg or have you off the bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stantheman 0 Posted December 27, 2014 cleaning and lubricating regularly will double the life of your chain chad also keeping it at the correct adjustment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
