Got my new chain tightened up, rolls really smooth with no noise. The old one definitely made some noise when I spun the tire on the center stand.
Question, how does one read the adjustment bar on the CB chain? The manual is confusing and I interpreted it as once the green/blue area is a sign of needing new chain? My new one put me right at the end of the green area which wasn't much different than where my old one sat on the indicator.
I'm assuming that the green area is the life of the chain, once it gets past that it should be replaced? Probably my old chain was fine as far as stretch was concerned?
