Hello all. I was wondering if anyone here uses X-Ring chains on their bikes? I used to have a Yamaha TW200, and the chains on those bikes needed constant oiling, and would stretch like crazy, and would wear down the sprockets, so the "thing" to do was to replace the chain with a D.I.D. X-Ring chain. The chain had very minimal stretch, and needed almost no lubrication. The ride also seemed to be a little smoother on the TW200 with that new chain.
I have looked around this forum, and I was sort of surprised to not see mention of it, unless I missed it somewhere.
So, what is the general consensus on chains? Are the chains on the Himalayan really good? Has anyone switched their stock chains for something better? Something lower maintenance?
I'm thinking about upgrading my chain to an X-Ring in the Spring, but the fact that chains aren't the "talk of the town" on this forum makes me wonder if it truly would be an upgrade from the factory chain.
Thanks for the input,
Dan
