If i putt around I can get ~300 miles before it needs adjusting. And i mean really putting around,like never going over 3 or 4k. Normal riding i have to adjust every 200 or so miles,which is not even two tanks of fuel! No way this is right or normal. What am i doing wrong. And my sprockets still look like new. I'm surprised they are not chewed up to be honest, but they really look perfect. My current chain is a Custom Chrome. What am i missing here? Or do I just have a junk chain? I can actually adjust my chain to perfection, cruise 5 miles to the nearest highway,full throttle bang it to max speed(which i love and do often),cruise back home and my chain will be loose. Not full loose,but loose.
