I got that with the Nighthawk S. The VFR is my first chain drive.

I liked the virtually maintenance free shaft on the Nighthawk 650, although for me the VFR is my 2nd chain drive
So far I will have to say, the chain has not been too much of an issue now that its new and I know how to clean and oil it

I was worried about the maintenance of a chain, but so far, have only had to adjust it once. Only takes 5 minutes to wipe it down and lube it every 500 miles.

Adjusting was not my main worry as I got used to that with the CB350/4
My biggest concern was cleaning and oiling, and thanks to you, this is no longer such a concern
I really appreciate the products you turned me onto
