Guest Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Ok Have a Zephyr 1100 and I get the chain just right. Take it for a rip and by the time I get home after 200 miles the chain is slack again.Is it time to dip in deep and get a new chain or just not give the old girl so much right hand.

Voodoo Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Are you sure the wheel isn't slipping forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I marked the swinging arm and the camber has not moved so it is defo the chain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 In that case I'd change the chain really quick, it can only stretch so far before it breaks, and you don't want that to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 your not over tightening it are you ?its an easy mistake to do check how much slack you have when sat on the bike you will probably need someone to check it actually if thats all ok then new chain time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
