I don't think I've ever had a chain stretch out. Mine start getting stiff when they go bad, which is a sign that the internal grease is gone. Applying external lube won't fix that.

Yeah, I'm going to change everything cause 1. as earlier stated, the front sprocket is cheap, and 2. the bike is in Lake Havasu City right now, so I can't check the front sprocket before I need to get everything changed.

![]() Uh yeah.... The chain that is currently on there got tightened to spec, ridden 3 days, tightened to spec cause it was loose, ridden a weekend, tightened again, and then parked... I don't think it should stretch that quick, so pretty sure it's done. |

I remember reading that many riders don't lube their chain correctly. They lube the outside roller instead of the inner side plates.

If I can stretch a chain with my hands, I usually don't put it on my bike...maybe that's just me though.
