I use to buy the chepaest chain I can find (non o ring, RK or similar) and keep it cleaned & oiled.



Also, I use to "boil the chain" in old crancase drippings from my wife's slick-50'd Isuzu every third cleaning.



Never had any chain problems on ANY of my bikes. Had some high-horsepower dirty & street bikes too.



Cheap+Clean+Lubed=long life.

O ring, schmoe ring. Who needs 'em? You can't clean an o-ring chain with pre-mix (gas) . Or boil it in oil. Mmmm, smell that boiling oil.

Doesn't anyone boil the chain in 'earl anymore? Call me a dinosaur...

Re: Krylon?

Maybe try the candy apple red next time. Make the chain look like it's been soaked in blood.

That or primer gray...

Yes, but just try finding a master link for a Buell. Better yet, call the dealer and ask for one. Tell the parts dude they're on the shelf, right next to the spin darts & muffler bearings.
