I have yet to change a chain on my V-Strom. Is there any place where I can find information on:
1) How to? Tools needed, etc.
2) Where to buy quality replacement parts?

Thanks!

steps to changing a chain are easy:
fudge around with a master link or take the swingarm off and put an endless chain on it liek they did at the factory.

i like taking the swingarm off because it gives you a great opportunity to pack it with grease and i dont trus tmy life to aftermarket chain clips.

alternatively you could take it to the dealer and then complain when they dont do it right...
