Re: [ST] Chain Life

["Lou Jiannine" <LouJ9@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have 13000+ on my ST and I cannot pull the links off the sprocket to 
expose the teeth at all.  I can only recall having adjusted the chain twice. 
It is a DID (surprising since I though all Triumphs came with Regina.). 
Maybe when it goes it will do all at once but at this rate I should get 
20000 easily.
