glad you got it going:D

RE: knocking during acceleration
 

ugh, i lied. it came back. when ever it ticks i can feel it in my footpegs and it gets faster with speed, only happens in my 1-3 gears. it used to do it in all of them then i loosend my chain it went away all together. then i went 100 on the free way, and it came back again. maybe its a tranny problem?

RE: knocking during acceleration
 

Now it kinda sounds like a bearing or gear going bad.

RE: knocking during acceleration
 

you should throw your bike up on the rear stand and see if you dont have a kink or tight spot in your chain. might be time for a new one! just throw it up and turn the wheel by hand and you'll be able to tell if there is one or not by the way it rotates. how tight was the chain before you loosened it?

RE: knocking during acceleration
 

tight, lucky if it moved a centimeter. the rear axle nut must not have been on to tourqe specs. i got it set now though.

i also need to get a stand, i dont have one. where do i get them for cheeeeap? i need to replace my front rotors anyways

RE: knocking during acceleration
 

well for the front rotors you can grab a jack and place it near the right side/bottom of the engine. besure your kick stand is down of course. when you start jacking it up the bike will rest on the kick stand and the back tire. you dont need to raise it that far and dont leave it unattended if you have kids

RE: knocking during acceleration
 

oh sweet ill grab my moms jack out of her car tomorrow, and no kids for me. only 19. haha

i hope i dont got a kink in the chain, thatd blow right about now on my budget

RE: knocking during acceleration
 

ive done a bunch of research and turns out im just going to replace my chain sprockets. its about that time anyway.

ill let you guys know if this fixes it

RE: knocking during acceleration
 

cool heck yeah let us know

RE: knocking during acceleration
