I noticed while riding my chain seems to sound like its grinding. I've checked the slack, its fine. Its still lubed from when it left the dealer. So why is it so rough sounding? Has anyone else had this issue or is that how its supposed to sound?

If your chain sounds like that, it needs lubricating.

If you use EP90 gear oil to lubricate your chain, you won't need to clean it, it will clean itself. Just apply it with a soft brush, and when it flings off, all the road crap will fling off with it.
