The chain is 3 months old with about 300 miles on it. What I have going for me is the fact that I have spent nearly 30k there over the last 10 years.

Hey make him do a shot with you before you ask if he will replace it!
Isn't that how you lost your virginity??? Just sayin
I think they'll spring for a chain, maybe a set of sprockets too. :sugartits:
Just got back and it was surprisingly no problem. Didn't really have to bitch too much. Didn't need the sprockets as I just got new ones with the new chain.

Customer service at its finest.
Did you get the same type of chain or get yourself a better one? Did they have anything to say as to why the chain you had was a piece of junk?

You guys are idiots....He didn't say he got anything for free
Great job Brucey As has been asked, what type of chain did you end up with
Great job Brucey As has been asked, what type of chain did you end up withThe thought was that maybe the chain had been on shelf for a long time and the oil it was packed in had "gone bad" or started to solidify some.
I got full credit for the chain and applied it to what I hope was a better one, an RK O-ring chain for about $100.00. Will never go cheap on a chain again. Lesson learned.
Good to hear Geek, hope it doesn't go Afro on you...
Once you go black, you never go back.Good to hear Geek, hope it doesn't go Afro on you...
Right Mihylo?Which you talkin bout Willis!Once you go black, you never go back.
AWWWWW FRACK NUGGETS...
I installed and properly maintained an RK 520 Non o-ring Chain for 30 hours of hard desert use on the WR500.
Reference Here
Now it's kinking something terrible. I pulled it off and soaked it and worked it... to no avail.
I am actually afraid to use this chain much longer.
So I'm going to buy another name brand non o-ring and a nice o-ring chain from the same company.
Run the non oring first, measure the life.
Then run the oring chain, measure it's life.
Compare.
