Ok, I have read the search topics on this, I just have a quick question. I just got done tightening the chain, but when I tightened everything up to check the right length at tightest points, I found some points were fine, others were way to tight. After adjustments to put the tightest points at the correct length, it put the loose points where they were almost at the start, way to loose( Hanging down by the center stand). Also, on both sides, where the marks are, I am past all of those marks after adjusting on each side. So after all of that, do I need a new chain and sprokets?? Is that what all these signs are telling me?? lol
Sorry for being long winded, just wanted to provide as much info as possible. Thanks in advance! :cheers:
used to have the same symptoms as you described but then...
I replaced the chain and front sprocket!
Good luck!
IMO It's best to change sprockets in pairs.
Check your sprockets. Are they curved like a sickle? Do they look like they'd do a good job cutting down tree limbs? If so, you need new ones. As far as the chain, I check the middle of it. 20-30mm of deflection. If you've got more and you're running out of adjustment room, then its time for a new one.
Sounds like 2 bad sprockets and a stretched chain.
Is there any place that yall reccomend me getting the chain and sprockets?? Any that yall reccomend?
I get my chains of ebay for $40.I can't remember where i got my sprockets.Seems like they came from JT or Sun.It may be cheaper to buy a chain sprocket kit unless you're changing sprocket size.
