Is the color of the chain on your Gixxer originally brown or is that just the signs of some very needed lubing? Just happened to notice it in the pic labeled 100_2715.

I suppose mine would be the same way if I logged as many miles as you .
It's actually a gold or brass color, with a layer of dirt and mud from Sundays ride. I try to clean and lube the chain every 500 miles, and that seems to come around a few times a week. Worst case it may see 1000 miles with out a cleaning and lube. I need to retire just so I have enough time to do routine maintenance, unlike Uncle Stoppie Bob who has it done. Better yet, anyone know of any fulltime jobs that involve riding motorcycles?
