Hi All

  1. Hi,
    I live near skipton. Purchased a 2019 1260 pikes peak.
    Previous bike was gen4 mt-09 sp.
    Loving the multi so far, apart from the chain snapping at 65 mph whilst over taking a car.

  8. Hello. Hailstones not good for chain lubrication.

  9. Welcome antwanrocamor, had the same happen on my ducati enduro.

    OEM chains are soft compared to a nice DID one.
