Continuing chain saga from my prior post. Chain is toast started calling around and looking on the net for replacement chain. OOCH! I had no idea chains were that expensive. And O-Ring chain runs $100.00 and up. An X-Ring even higher.

I checked the Triumph Manual for chain type and they list the
DID 525 VM2 as the factory installed chain, OEM part.
Funny thing is the chain on my bike doesn't look like an O-ring chain, it looks like an regular roller chain.

While net surfing found these links on chain informative:

I'm off to the bike shop to lay down some money this morning.
