Any consensus on brand of chain to use as replacement? --------------------------------- Yahoo! Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs. Try it free.

Can of worms. I have actually got my best milage on first chain with very little maintenance and occaisional WD - 40. Some swear by it. A seroius motorcycle mechanic I know who can work on Ducati valve trains says it dries out chains (the o rings). But he is mostly a street rider. He recommends the Bel Ray stuff or the Scott oiler ..... but both attract crap in the boonies. Some say Chain Wax is good for boonies. He doesn't think so. I think the best thing about WD 40 is it cleans the chain. Criswell

Hey guys, I am about to embark on a trip with my KLR. I just bought my KLR this summer. If you have any sugestions that you can give me about my bike to do such a trip it would be apreciated. Check out my website for the information about my trip. It is going to be a good one. I am biking from Ottawa, Canada to Argintina. www.ridetheamericas.org thanks a lot. caleb dykstra
