Let's see your Chains!

Chains are something that I'm very obsessive about......they always have to have the exact tension, be spotlessly clean, and well lubed!

This is mine at 23K kms/14.5K miles.......but it would be a lot better if I'd owned it from new. 

It's condition wasn't that bad when I got it......it's just that it was dirty and gummed up with wax! So it wasn't running as freely as it should have been.

Lot better now after repeated cleanings and regular use of Castrol Synthetic chain oil!

So let's see yours! 

I know @Tym's and @boboneleg's will be very good........but god knows what @Sir Fallsalot's will be like! Probably half a field embedded in it! :classic_laugh:

Always happy to grovel in the dirt for the chance... the slight chance that it might improve my sense of self worth and bring a little meaning to my presence on this here motorcycle forum despite owning an oversized scooter and having no van.

I never used to do anything to my motorcycles when I was a young lass, just throw on some lube and go. 

Now I try to care for my bikes better, well one of them at least.  The other one usually has other things to worry about besides general care......😆

Pretty easy to tell the Himalayan from the Honda! :littleguy:
