When I got my 250, the guy selling it mentioned the rusty chain, and said he didn't understand how it got rusty. I explained it was because no one had ever put any lube on it. The look on his face said that he didn't completely buy that explanation. I guess he thought that O-ring chains are maintenance-free.

Interestingly, he gave me a new chain and sprocket set with it, so I immediately fixed the problem when I got home.
