I was prepping our two G310GS bikes for traveling this summer. Among tasks I decided to replace the chains. So with 25,000 miles on the original OEM chain on my bike I proceeded to replace the chain. I removed the old chain; made sure I had the same number of links on the new chain; and put the new chain on the bike. I didn't move the axle or adjusters at all and the new chain went right on and, just like the chain I removed, it was in specification for chain adjustment. So much for all that pesky chain adjustment needed - NOT.
Now I do know that once a chain starts to wear/elongate it does so progressively quickly. But at 25,000 miles the old chain had not elongated any perceptible amount.
I replaced the chains with DID XRing Gold chains. We shall see how these compare with the OEM chains after the next 20 or 25 thousand miles.
