loose tight chain

[cyndemgum]

hello,

just did my first 1000km service and noticed the chain is the right tension on half of it, the other half is so loose that it touches the chain guard.

Do i need a new chain?

Or can i do something about it?

Thanks

Mate, It is a new chain. Some plates, pins and rollers have loosened up and a section of the chain has not. As said, keep it lubed. Adjust the chain so you have about 25-30mm slack at the tight spot with the rider's weight on the bike. Remember a little loose is acceptable a little tight is not. Have a blast, Paul.
