A lot of folks would be happy with a 20,000 mile chain. I'd start thinking it was done, regardless of two up riding. Keep in mind that if it stretches too much, it'll start devouring your sprockets. Expect a bit more clutch wear, as you're pulling a lot more wieght when starting off. You might want to look at the rear sub-frame bolt upgrade kit. I don't know how much of an issue the '08 has, but prior years were known to break the bolts under load. --Jonathan "smthng" Kalmes Springfield, VA 2005 Yamaha FJR1300ABS - "Blue Bayou" 2006 Jeep Unlimited Rubicon - "Teflon" 2008 Kawasaki KLR 650 - It's here, but it hasn't earned a name yet. http://smthng.info "Shake well... some settling is natural."

Tony, Farkle in good condition should be worth at least 1/2 of current list price. Less if there is need to repair damage or welds, etc. revmaaatin.
