Voodoo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I'd reajust your chain before you do some damage to the gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugworth1987 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 21, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
