pcguru000 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 So this thing has been making this sound for a while, saturday however I took a friend out, rode him around for a few hours (hes after a bike lol) - noticed it got a bit worse, today I noticed the chain was very loose (67mm slack, should be 40-50) ... So friend and I tightened it to 40-42 ish - figured that would help. Did the exact oppostite... now its a serious concern... smash smash smash feeling in the left foot peg... I am guessing this is the front sprocket ... missing teeth? damaged teeth? ALSO - before AND AFTER i did the chain adjustment ... it seems to skip or jump the sprocket... Accelerating hard sometimes it the RPMS will spike as if I just grabbed the clutch really quick (assuming this means the chain is jumping the forward sprocket...) It also does it over bumps when accelerating... So, i should replace the front sprocket? anything else I should be looking for ? just wanted approval :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris66 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 you should change the two sprockets and the chain as a set, if the chain has been skipping teeth it has done it no good and chain and sprockets tend to wear together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
