New chain kit fitted - not sure that it's the chain I would have preferred; the mechanic I use got a DID VX for it, instead of a VM, which is what I thought it should be. I think it should be ok though, maybe won't last quite so long. Unbelievable state the old chain was in, after riding through flooded roads and not getting to clean it immediately afterwards. Still, those were, I think, the original chain and sprockets, 27.000 miles-ish, so not bad for a bike with no auto-oiler.And now washed and shiny again. Happiness is a clean, shiny
Curiosity got the better of me after reading your post about the VX or VM , so I looked up the DID website. The last chain I bought for the Fzs1000 was a VX.http://www.didchain.com/images/usaSpecs2014.jpgReading this it appears that the VX is stronger then the VM. A sigh of relief here
Got a quick fly round with some super resin polish, and got 3 coats of paint onto one side of the engine, was just about to start the second side of the engine when the heavens opened (luckily that side is not too bad). Cover is now strapped over it tightly.
