Replaced the top gear again but the was not so much wear on bushing this time.
1 was replaced with 4062 miles on it , 2 was replace with 3650 miles on it.
You can see from the pictures # 1 had a lot more wear but only had 400 miles more than #2.

So what did you do different, tighter chain, different oil ?
Yes what did you do different? #2 Looks like new yet!

It made me think the same thing! After factory chain oil I used synthetic and I keep the oil to top or just above window. chain is 1.25 turns from finger tight. I could of got away without changing that gear this time but would of had to take it apart in the winter, so just changed it.

I'm not really sure but going to keep doing what I did lol # 2 looks great for that many miles on it.
Maybe they updated that coating without telling anyone. Good news and I agree do exactly what you did last time!
Allan is part# exactly the same as wore one?
