Drive Chain problem
Well im pretty upset my new bike got sold to me with a bad drive chain, and a bad CCT...other than that its been good. but here is the problem with the chain.
It was too loose, so i tightened it, then it was too tight so i loosened it and this kept going for like a half an hour. Ive never had this big of a problem with a damn chain before. So what i figured out was that some spots in the chain are more stretched out than others. Like its tight, then i rotate my wheel 1/2 turn and the chain has an inch and a half of play in it...is this possible???? The only other thing it could be is if my sprockets are off center but im pretty sure thats very near to impossible.
Anywho, i bought a new chain because it was in the red anyways, but while waiting for it i want some backup to tell me if im right or not with the problem.
Thanks Guys!

Yea the new cct is on and working good. It was a pain to get to though...i took off the throttle bodies and everything...
Chain should be here Thursday, i changed it on my f3 so it should only take 15 mins to take it off, cut it to the right number of links and rivet link it on...then im cleared to finally bring her up to college if the weather stays warm like it has been.

no, the teeth on the sprockets look great. I dont see how they could be off center..and them being off center besides the chain, could be the ONLY thing that is making it tighten up then be loose for different parts of the spin.
Theres no way that is off center...and the teeth look great.
