Only done about 12000 miles but Im having to adjust the chain even 200miles. Is it time for a new one? Or just keep on using it untill there is nothing left to adjust? There is no curling of the teeth on the sprokets (front or rear)
I think there were a couple of 1000 miles where the chain was unlubed as the scottoiler slipped and the lube was missing the chain. Could this have caused the rapid wear? |

If you can pull the chain back from your rear sprocket with your fingers than replace ASAP.
Not sure about the scottoiler thingy. I hate the thing so I lube mine manually. But than my Hairnet get spoiled as it gets washed, oiled, checked, polished etc very often. |

If you don't change it now you soon will if you're having to adjust it every 200 miles.
I would change it and fix the scottoiler. I know some peeps don't like them but since fitting them to my bikes I can't remember the last time I had to adjust the chain |
