yorbandit Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 you have got a ghain link or 2 that have rusted mate hence a knock feeling i bet, get som lube on ya chain before it knotches ya sprockets Quote
Stu Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 you did find the tightest spot on your chain and tension it to that didnt you ?sounds like a stiff link or tight spot in chain Quote
slugworth1987 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 thanks guys ill get some old engine oil on it 1st thing in morning Quote
Voodoo Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I'd reajust your chain before you do some damage to the gearbox Quote
slugworth1987 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 the chains tention isnt tight its got about an inch of play as sugested by the manual like i said i dont think its the gear box because the vibration follows like a wave pattern Quote
Stu Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 did you check the chain tension with your weight on it ? as it tightens up when you sit on the bike also did you check to see if there was a tight spot in the chain ? Quote
