Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 the photo is a set-up. not real.this has been deliberately done to the chain.. its not neglect. its deliberate. Well that would account for it looking so bad. What's the back story then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I tend to think this is not rightIt's not even the right kind of muck for a 51mile demo XTThe original chain oil would last 51miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the guy seems pretty bent out of shape about it on FaceButt and is waiting a reply from the Dealer Principal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitcher Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 That's either a really poor quality chain or the bike has been near salt water or something corrosive. At 51 miles even without maintenance it shouldn't look like that. This is what I was thinking too, no way a chain should look like that after 51 miles even if it hadn’t been touched!.

skyrider Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Seen this on the UK Strom group on FB today.Take a look at this.......122291434_10223712815986406_7867019996463335583_n-min.jpgThat was the condition that a used 650 Strom XT was delivered from the Suzuki main dealer.What makes it even worse is that the bike itself is a 2020 model, ex-demo.......and has only done 51 miles! It came with the tyres way under the recommended pressures as well......so it looks like no sort of check was ever done on it.Those were certainly 51 hard miles! I'll see if I can find out who these cowboys were and give you the heads up. looks like they fished it out of the north irish sea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
