Default chain rust - wait and watch?

My chain is rusting Will the stretching happen quicker now? Anything other than keeping it lubed?

Rust will degrade the seals. Get a new chain.

My chain looked similar..dealer said surface rust not an issue...I used aWD40 Pen on some of the rusty spots and it took it right off (didn't put the WD on the O-rings)



Sprayed some Dupont Teflon Lube on...good to go
