I have my chain causing my bike to surge, I always tighten the chain on the tight side but seems to have a streatched out area that is causing my bike to surge when i let off the throttle? has anyone had this happen before? my bike is a 05 and has 20k on it maybe time for a new one?

 

Come again?

20,000 miles? or 20,000 KM? either way that's a long time to have a Factory chain. I'd replace the chain and sprockets. don't get sucked into a 520 conversion kit. they just aren't worth it on the street. If you track ride, however, it might be a good investment.

 

my friend got 22000 miles out of his chain and sprockets on a 98' superhawk. at 22 grand his chain sounded like a cctl

 

19 thousand, so just get another oem chain? are the oem chains at the dealer one piece or do they have a master link?

 

you know its making my speedo sparatic too wont stay at one speed it will got from 67 to 70 back to 68mph so im going to get a new set of sprockets and a new oem chain!

 

i'd be floored if it were. most are masterlinked, but any chain can be made never-ending.

DID, RK, Regina, whatever... take your pick, but buy new sprockets as well. the one's you've got on there must be just TRASHED...

 

my 00' r6 came stock with a 530 chain/sprocket set-up. i only adjusted the chain twice in 7500 miles on that bike. i wonder if the f4i could be equiped with the same? that set-up, if taken care of, would last a hell of a long time.[&:]

 

yea im just gonna hean to the dealer and get a new set

 

anyone know or have a link how to propery tighten chains?
