Way things are going Sean ,it will only make money .Should of seen the state of the brand new chain on the Honda crosser after the sand race .They recommend to degrease them but I never ,forgot, and the chain was 2 inches longer afterwards where it had worn the bushes paper thin .Very hard on man and machine that event .I was used to motocross but that was another level . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
