Classic case of tight spots on the chain, Ill bet my ball sack on it.
I bet if you watch it under load its catching at tapping on the carrier on its rotation.

ron is a bit of a stickler with his chains, and rightly so, im another one who likes an opportunity to slop oil all over the shop. Well oiled chains make for a smoother ride and they last a lot, lot longer than one that is neglected. It also makes it look like you know what your doing when its parked up

I'd had enough waiting and in the end I thought "what the hell get out there in the rain and get it done"only to find that i had the wrong set..huffff Phoned up DK two days later new set on the doorstep that night new rear spocket went on and old chain off. Hear comes the question Is it safe to loosten the front sprocket on the gear box or should i drop the rear tire on the floor with the chain and break on??? |

if your changing the chain and spockets loosen the bolt through the front drive sprocket first. With the bike in gear and an assistant putting weight on the rear brake. If your not doing the cogs then just remove the rear wheel and shuffle the chain through an oil bath bit by bit

and i might miss the gp.
