    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My drive chain slack is 3+ inches at one place and taut in another. I know the correct answer is "new chain" but until then, how should I adjust?
 
Adjust to the tight point ,if you don't you can put to much pressure on your bearing's.
Please don't wait to long for replacement,chain's are cheaper than engine caseing's.........................................I'm not well,I just answered a chain question, MEDIC!
 
A chain that worn is asking for trouble! Pawn your wedding ring and get a new chain. The last thing you need is the thing snapping, jumping off the sprockets, or flying into the cases at &^%$ mph. :roll:

Re: Chain Adjustment Dilemma

A chain in that condition is an accident waiting to happen. Park the bike until you can put new sprockets and chain on it.

I just took a chain like that off the 1100. It was unbearable to ride at slow speeds and I was afraid to ride fast with it. I also found that my front sprocket was on backwards. Now it is like Heaven. :P

LOL ok, I'll seek a new chain immediately! This one will be O-Ring this time.
 
AND sprockets. If you dont put new sprockets on it with the new chain, you wont get a month out of the new chain before its trash.
