Default Chain Issue
Hi All,
My R15 has done around 17K+ so far.. Today I took her to SS for tightening the chain... The guy who checked my told dat It's time to change the chain n sprocket.. He said the chain is tight at some point and very loose at some other point...
Can anyone throw some light on this???? What all are the indication for a chain change? Also is 17K too early for a replacing it?

U'r suggestions highly appreciated.. Thanks

Joe
