Help!! Clicking/grinding when letting into 1st gear
Hey everyone I got a 1994 CBR900RR with 22xxx miles.....all original, when I bought the bike pretty recently it was not making any noises. this was only 2 months ago...after I put 1500 miles on it it started making a kind of clicking ticking or grinding noise as I let the clutch out into 1st gear.....once the clutch is fully released the noise is gone....there is no slipping all the other gears are golden and work fine...if I give it lots of gas it seems to not click as much when I let off I feel maybe im letting off to slow and broke my clutch oO idk please help me my friend even says you can hear it off the bike so its quite loud .....my chain is a bit saggy but it doesnt sound like my chain more coming from the tranny....thx!!
Tighten up the chain and take the slack out - to spec' and see if it does it then !
Check the sprockets and chain too with 22k miles I'm betting they need a change
sounds like the chain is binding and the front / rear sprocket is worn.

Okay I defiantly will ....I suppose this could defiantly be an issue considering the clutch and gears dont slip at all and the noise is only there at low speeds (when the chain is loose) so I will check that. as for a picture...how would I go abouts getting my bike at the bottom of every post just like yours

also what does it mean when the chain is binding?
So I was working on my bike last night and Pulled the rear wheel back to tighten up the chain because it was loose as a goose...I ended up getting the chain to the correct tension but it still made a bad grinding noise as I was riding all the time now...I got off the bike and when the wheel would rotate around one section the chain would get tighter...To tight....so I loosened it up again and got it back to sounding like it did before I touched it...the chain is way beyond the replace chain marker so Im guessing a new set of sprockets and a chain should fix it
