loose tight chain

[cyndemgum]

fair enough

wasnt having a go or anything

just that some people say having a tight spot means stuffed chain and some people dont.

As for pics, imagine a near new busa that was broken in by factory specs (under 6000RPM for first 1000kms) with lubed chain with good motul lube that has been babied.

The chain looks brand new.

But has had this tight loose problem pretty much since i bought it.

2cm slack at tight spot, loose spot touched chain gaurd.

Have someone who has had heaps of bikes and does all their own work have a look at it. Gut feeling, without seeing the bike, is all will be good if kept lubed and on the loose side. If aligned properly it is almost impossible for a near new chain to cause a crash. All of my bikes are absolutely flogged and i still get a minimum of 35 000kms out of chains/cogs. Have not seen a chain yet without tight/loose points. Paul.
