rear tire and chain
i just got my wheel balanced at my cycle shop and went to put it on my 2006 f4i i put the axel through no problem and got the rotor into the brake pads. when i tried to put the chain on and tighten it the chain got tighter and i made sure both sides where even but the chain seems to hit the swingarm where the chain gard is. how do i fix this problem??????
thanks

RE: rear tire and chain
It sounds like your chain is 1 link too long (new chain) or stratched out (old chain). Did you changed your sprockets and chain as well. Or have you not inspected your chain in a while and perhaps it was already touching the chain gaurd and you did not notice? If it's a new chain, i would cut a link. If its and old chain, it sounds like you need a new chain and sprocket set. If it is an old chain, how many miles do you have on it?

I think he is referring to the part that is ontop of the swing arm it self, it's a block of plastic or something that looks designed to have the chain ride on it somewhat. To keep chain from slappin the swing arm. I noticed it on mine and thought it was normal. I'm pretty sure he isn't talkin about the top gaurd with the stickers on it.

which way are you turning the tire when you rotate it? remember when you are actually riding the bike, the tension is on the top of the chain, keeping it off the swingarm.
if you are rotating the tire by hand, you have to turn the wheel backward(as if backing the bike) to keep the top of the chain tensioned.
