    Loose Chain

    mattbt replied to mattbt's topic in Yamaha Workshop
    Thanks for the reply. I will look into lubing the chain or replacing it. I have noticed that the noise started at the same time I noticed the looseness of the chain, so how can I tighten it and see if that fixes it? Is a chain able to be tightened or does it have to be replaced? The bike has 5000 miles on it but I don't know if it is the original chain.

    Loose Chain

    mattbt posted a topic in Yamaha Workshop
    My chain has recently come loose on my '02 Virago 250. I started noticing it after I stalled out accidentally while trying to start in second gear. It makes a weird squeaky noise while I´m coasting and downshifting. The bike still runs fine, but I worry that I'm doing more damage by continuing to ride. Do you think I just need to tighten the chain or could it be another problem? If it is just the chain, how do I tighten it?
