RE: Chain Adjustment Question - olekzap_imp - 06-25-2017
New chain and sprockets installed this weekend. Hoping this is the end to my chain stretching issues. This is the cleanest it will ever be.

They look good when new don't they? Did you go with oem sprockets and chain?

Chain wax for me! Chain breaks in to 1.5" and usually stays there, this chain is of high quality and easy to work on with the center stand!

It's a little over an inch which is just about perfect.

Not OEM, shop recommended I go with non-OEM sprockets since they are basically the same as the Honda branded ones but half the price since there isn't a Honda logo stamped on them. Chain is DID 530VX which is supposed to be a little more durable and long lasting than stock. Time will tell but it's nice to not have to worry about it for another 20k miles.
