Howdy guys,
Been along time since I have been on the forum... been riding the bike so it is all good. I was greasing the chain today and noticed one tight link! It still is moveable and I gave it a little extra love.
Question time... I have 6500 miles, is it safe to keep riding on this chain with one tight spot. I would like to make it to my 8000 mile checkup before replacing.
I am wondering if I over cleaned the chain and hence the tight spot. I used O chain approved cleaners, but I think when you strip all the grease it has to rebuild through applications. I am wondering if I should keep greasing every 500 with a deep clean ever 2-3 thousand miles???
I know this is a matter of opinion, but those who have high mileage chains could help. Would a DID X ring chain help with this problem in the future? As always, your help is appreciated.
