I was working on my KDX tonight and decided to remove the chain to check rear wheel bearings because I bought some new ones and wanted to see if I needed them yet. Well as I was looking ofr the master link I couldn't find it! No clip anywhere! I have no idea how long I've been riding with no clip on my master link!!!! :scream: I remember trying to get the master link off last year and it was tough so I just put the clip back on. Hmm, I just wonder how long it's been that way and I'm lucky I didn;t wrap the chain around the countershaft and crack the case!!
So I decided tonight was the night to change the chain and sprokets even though my old ones were still worth of a few more miles. Oh well I didn't need the rear wheel bearings yet but I ruined a new lower shock bearing trying to put one on, ended up keeping the old one and pressing it back in. :| It is still the original one and I guess is still good. I just decided to replace it because of all the folks that claim to trash them quickly. I'll catch it next lube job time. Doing a majot lube job on rear and steering stem..not done yet. Yawn. G,nite.
