    New Chain and front sprocket at 10,000 miles

    Getting tires and other maintenance items done and the dealer is suggesting a new chain and front sprocket. Oh what the heck, it's $250 and I won't have to deal with the matter again for another 10,000 miles. Fine with me. For all the complaints regarding the BMW GS driveshafts, they are a lot...

    530 chain conversion - possible?

    So I happened to get my hands on a few 530 x-ring chains for pennies on the dollar. I was hoping there were bolt-on parts to make a 530 chain work on the 'strada. I know most people like to downsize chains for "quicker acceleration", but I would much rather have a long lifespan from a beefier...

    Hey gang! Anybody know how to remove the chain guard? Went in for his first service last weekend and my nice, tidy chain wax has been replaced by big gloops of generic rubbish. It's dripping down the swing arm and has covered most things in the vicinity so I can't see any fasteners or...

    Changing to 520 chain and sprockets

    I would like to change the front and rear sprockets to use a 520 chain.

    DIY Extended Chain Guard

    The chain guard does little to prevent splatter messing up the rear wheel and frame. Since there is no extended chain guard available, I decided to make my own. Sacrifice a plastic pail, hacked off the bottom. Using a Dremel, cut and trimmed the excess. Using a 3mm thick...

    Chain adjuster tool

    Did your bike come with a chain adjuster tool when it was new? It appears to need a large pin spanner to tighten the chain which was not included in my kit when I took delivery.
