As the owner / spokesidiot from Tire Kingdom used to shout on TeeVee:
"TARS AIN'T PRETTY!" But new chains are. Yesterday I spent a few hours installing a new X-ring chain, front and rear sprockets, and new cush drive dampers on the DL1000. Holy ****, what a difference!! I had no idea how noisy and jerky the old stuff had become after 17.5K miles, the wear and slop just creeps in, I guess. Now the bike is so smooth, quiet, and fun to ride again I can't wait to go to work tomorrow. Next time I'll do it at 12k or so. And will probably let the shop do it; what a pain the ass job that was. My fingernails will be black for a month after cleaning that chain gruck out of the front sprocket cover.
