Chain - Endless or riveted???????

A recent post discussed chain life. I'm coming to the end of my chain life at 18000 miles. The question is: do I go to the trouble of removing the swinging arm and suspension likage to fit it an endless chain (hard work, but you can grease the pivot points whilst apart), or do I take the easy option, ie a riveted chain :?:

I don't know but a scottoiler will make either option last much longer and is easier to fit than the swingarm. :lol:

Up to you.

If you can be bothered to do the strip and grease job, do it, otherwise there is no problem with rivetted chains.

I'd use a rivet link for preference, but if your bike is a couple of years, (or more), old then it's about time you had the back end of for a greasing anyway.
