the freaken chain got of, the master link broke! [/size]

now i've spoken to a bunch of cracker ass sales men, and they say it's because of the chain lubrication i'm using! Castrol Wax! okay, now that stupid reason is cleared out of the air, this weeks small accident, i thought( now that's seriaaas stuff ) the circlip got out! that's all it can be!

Its a EK 520 SR 05. now they say EK chains is a ****ty chain! true!? well they said i should consider a D.I.D chain! i had a D.I.D chain and the link broke before the master link! Now what now! should consider riding horses!? there is a lot of opinions!

but what should i take up seriously and what not! coz this week i've heard a lot of opinions! like for instance the lubrication opinion!
Is your chain over tighten, you need a fair amount of slack on the chain because of the amount of suspension movement, I broke a link on my chain when I had a new DRZ400 I had the chain to tight.
