  • Checking slack at different areas of the chain will quickly let you know if your chain needs to be replaced.

    Rear sprocket is not aligned properly, Chain is fine, just install some extra rubber from a tyre tube and fill it inside the rear sprocket and tyre drum, making sure it has some play, align the rear sprocket.
    If it still doesn't align, then install washers on rear sprockets screws to align it
    This is done intentionally by the garage mechanic, so the chain wears fast or makes noise, so they can sell a new Chain sprocket set

      ​​@@digvijaychougale3770 generally if the chain sprocket teeth are too sharp and the chain is flipping over the sprocket, then there is a need to change the chain, if its length has increase too much.
      But still one can try to remove the chains One roller link and can drive for 10 K kilometers generally.
      But overtime the length of chain will keep increasing and it will start coming of the sprocket track
      Also check your rear sprocket bearing, is it perfect, or it has some play

    Thanks for sharing. I have this *exact* issue going on right now, my chain does have about 10k miles on it *but* was taken iff cleaned and adjusted by a mechanic 2k miles ago and he said chain was fine. In the last 2 weeks: 1 mechanic told me to keep driving and adjust every 500 miles and the noise and tight tension should work itself out as the chain loosens up uniformly 2. another mechanic (and the Cycle Gear guy) said replace chain and sprockets @ $320. Ive put 100 miles on it since tgis issue started (started after I adjusted my own tension) and it has quieted down a bit but Im torn on what to do. I baby my bike, a 2017 Kawasaki Z650; ty

    Had this on my bike and I think it’s both a chain and sprocket issue. Changed both and found my front sprocket to be almost worn out. Now it runs as smooth as ever.

    The O rings wear out and you will have tension throughout the chain on certain portions, and where you have damage links you will have no or extreme tension so you cannot adjust your tension or the slack because the chain is not consistent throughout the link.

    When the chain gets tight, that would be the “high point”…. This is usually when the rear sprocket is slightly bent. If you try to tighten the chain, you risk snapping it on load.
    Change the chain and this should still occur

    That's not a chain issue. That's a sproket issue. Check to see that your rear sproket is putting even tension all the way around.

    • @ornametrics
      @ornametrics ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's almost certainly a chain issue. There's a tight or seized link in there somewhere. It cant bend around the counter sprocket very well so causes the chain the appear tight in that section.
