Smile Chain and sprockets on XTX.....

My 2011 XT660X has 23000 kms on the clock from new and I am a big maintenance fan so the chain has always been checked and lubed every weekend or 2. I had never really noticed that the chain was not ok, I have adjusted it only once. I recently discovered DID chain lube which I really like so now I use only DID. When I read on here about some chain problems I thought that changing chain and sprockets may be a good idea, I prefer prevention to cure, so I got a DID set fitted last week.

The bike seems like a new one!!!! The gearchange is smooth. The bike feels better and more flexible. The sound is better. I wish I had done this ages ago as I had not noticed how ropey my chain had become. Best 200 Euro ever spent on this bike. Wowowowowowowow.
