low horsepower and 530 chain, it isn't highly stressed as far as motorcycle use goes. I think the fairly small rear sprocket does mean it sees more torque per HP (but lower speed) than most other bikes that use larger rear sprockets.
There has to be some difference? A quick look said Izumi 530 runs from $40 to $90?I've run Izumi
- - - Thanks Fred. I was about to think I'd pissed you off enough you wouldn't show up.
Oh wait.
I think.
You did.

Hi Tom,Okay, so I'm still one of the bike riders from the 1960's when I had no money. If you look at a worn sprocket you will see machine marks on the unpowered side. Many sprockets can be flipped when the new chain is installed.
I look for chain lube that is like solvent when applied so it penetrates the rollers then thickens as the solvent evaporates. PJ1!
I noticed my Triumph leaking oil. It turned out to be chain lube. Too much is okay, I guess. The Renolds chain has 12,000 miles and it shows little wear.
Like Gary, I safety wire my master clip.
Think of a master clip as a fish. It must swim head first.
Gordon, was it you who suggested an extra master link? I clip an extra on my clutch cables. Did you ever show these guys your homemade luggage on your Victor?
