Chain rollers disintegrated.
Riding home yesterday on my ER5 noted chain was noisy, so checked it and found the rollers on the split link had disintergrated! Rest of chain O/K and not worn. Link matches chain, possibly seized on that one link? Any other ideas?

Possibly, or the split link was to tight when fitted!

Re: Chain Rollers Disintergrated:
My guess would be it's an aftermarket chain that's had a split link used to join it, and maybe it was fitted incorrectly.
The only time I've had a link done by somebody, a good dealer actually, it always hung up and you could spot it in the lower run of the chain easily.  That's why I prefer the endless chain option.

Re: Chain Rollers Disintergrated:
When you assemble a chain, you need to grease the split/rivet link ... this often gets overlooked ... prolly what happened here ...

Re: Chain rollers disintegrated.
Thanks lads, chain was on bike when I bought it. Bike was owned by a young lady who had hardly used it. Yes was probably not greased when fitted!
