Thanks for your reply the chain can be pulled a bit from the rear sprocket but is tighter at the bottom where it is popping so i guess this sounds like your suggestion thanks mate.

Hi guys sorry if this is a simple thing but my chain seems to be popping of the teeth at the bottom of the rear sprocket when i move the bike backwards doesnt do this when moving forwards or riding. I have adjusted the chain which seems fine looks like the chain links are sitting too close to the back of the tooth in front as the chain lets go as i move back wards any ideas. cheers

yep no knocks at all, dont think it is a cut off or switch problem as i can can sometimes coax it along

Yep that sounds exactly the same as mine someone metioned it may be the tank is pulling a vacuum what you reckon

Hi there i originally posted this in the custom section but i guess it should go here anyways I hope that one of the knowledgeable members can help me out. I keep losing power on my xvs 125 dragstar it feels as if the fuel is cutting out, i have had the carbs cleaned to no avail. It starts fine even when left for a while but when you give it some throttle it dies unless you back off and then really coax the power on slowly. This happens about 80 % of the time i can ride for 10 miles before it happens or i might get lucky and it doesn't happen at all.. Its driving me mad cause no one seems to have a clue so i would be really grateful if someone can shed some light on it for me. Cheers guys.
