I just pulled off the old OEM chain on my new-to-me '04 Wee. The previous owner had sworn by WD-40 and the chain showed it. After 17k+ it had sticky links, herky-jerky downshifts etc... The sprockets are still in great shape, but the chain had to go.
I picked up a new DID chain and the Motion Pro 3-in-1 chain tool today, changed it, and just got back from my test ride. WOW :jawdrop: what a difference! My baby is silky smooth and quiet as all get out.
If you are wondering about your chain, and it's showing it's wear, replace it. It's easily one of the best $200 I've put into the bike so far ($120 chain, $75 for the tool)
HUGE thanks to all who have done this before and posted about the process of doing it.
