Your chain is binding. I suspect it hasn't had grease applied every 500 miles, as per the manual.

How many miles do the chain and sprockets have on them? Can you post close-up pics of the teeth? It may be the angle on the video, but those teeth look like there's nothing left to them.

Either way, I'd recommend changing the chain and sprockets ( DON'T EVER CHANGE ONLY ONE OF THESE, CHANGE **ALL OF THEM***). If you want to do it the wrong way, you can try cleaning and re-greasing the chain per the user manual, but that chain's already beat to crap.

 

Yeah it looks like a set of sharks teeth on your sprocket.. Any close up picks would help..

 

im just wondering, but wont every chain make at least a little bit of noise? my chain and rear sprocket has already been changed by previous owner (x-ring chain, +2 rear sprocket) and mine makes a bit of noise. no where near as savage as the one posted, but there is a bit a noise present

 

yeah, chains are not completely quiet

 

looks like it hasnt been greased in awhile, may be to tight and probably not aligned. Get a new set and start from scratch. oh and those teeth are still there just a little worn. I can show you sprockets with no teeth and both of them were properly lubed, just pushed beyond there capability. Wheelies wear them out much faster than normal.

 

That is a very strange sound your chain makes. I noticed that when you turned it a certain way,
it almost sounds like a barking dog; that can't be good. Change it asap!

 

I thought barking was ok... but if it starts to howl then you need to change it.
Really though it doesn't sound normal. Post a pic up close of that sprocket, in the video it looks beyond worn out.

 

That rear sprocket looks done in so I can't imagine what the front looks like. So I think the noise discussion is pretty moot. See what she sounds like with new chain / sprockets and properly aligned

 

Definitely much louder than normal and the sprocket's pretty worn.
+1 for just swapping it all out.
