Is it the original chain 15 plate rr sport

[Thefridge1980]

Hi guys, does anyone know any easily recognisable ways of seeing if your bike has the original chain, my bike has 11k on the clock, I have no way of checking of its the original chain or not?

This is a pic of my chain and sprocket if it helps at all. If the chain was replaced then I'd expect the sprocket to be different to though I think some folk had issues with chains early on in the bikes life and swapped it so may not necessarily have replaced the sprockets as well.

Every s1000 I've had(5 s1000's and hp4) has had a regina chain from new.This will be stamped on the chain link.

Hell fire, that's clean.. I only ever get clean bits like that when I buy a new bike.. It doesn't last long.

If its a rusty piece of crap then its the original gen3 chain, Billo you must have the best looked after original chain in the country! Swapped mine for a Renthal 525 gold, much better finished than the OEM bit of tat

Ha ha, I'm taking my politeness filter off, I degreased and then lubed my chain, two days later in the garage it was a rusty poo colour.. Nuff said

OEM Chain

The OEM chain isn't very good at all even when regularly maintained. That said it's no worse than a cheap aftermarket chain but you are far better off replacing it with a quality item from the likes of D.I.D etc.

Can anyone share a link to a recommended chain, my orig is rusty as hell and already adjusted to the max.

Thanks

Can't believe you guys, I've never had a problem with my chain from 2010 to date. I'd rather clean it after use than spend 150 squid I guess lol
