Working on my chain, cleanedit and adjusted it, I'm out to the replace chainmark on the swing arm chain adjustments when I notice the chain(got the rear up on the bike stand)is binding up [:@]it gets loose then tight as I turn the rear wheel always in the same spot, like 8 to 10 links behind master link,started the bike and put it in gear just to see how it looked under power and the chain acted like it wanted to jump alittle on the sprocket. What up is the chain and sprocket toast, time for new ???????

 

If it's at the mark replace it, but it also sounds like you pushed something into teh O rings that is causing the binding. Clean that area again and lube it good to make sure it gets freed up while new chain arrives.

 

Trust me on this one... if EVER you think you need a new chain GET ONE... paying for a new chain is much cheaper than having to split the case to replaceshift tube and forks because you stacked the chain...

 

Sounds likeIm gona invest in the 520 conversion, new sprocketsand a chain tool

 

Ouch that l;ooks like its painful.. im gonna get a new chain now....

 

Looks like I gota wait, moneys tight, so you think its cool to soak it in some keresene, make sure its all clean and reinstall, check for the binding if its good, anduse for short trips ? its either that or it sits till I get a new set up [>:]

 

I personally would just let it sit! I didn't drive my bike for a week because I knew my chain was bad. That's just me though.

 

[sm=goodidea.gif]I agree with nsb. Ride it after you replace the chain.

 

park it and save up for a new chain..

 

Ok, thats the answer I'm lookin for, looks like she sets but hey better safe than sorry [&:] Thank guys
