    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.

Chain clicking

find the tight spot and adjust to that...... find the loosest spot and check the difference. unless it's super loose then use it as it is. if it's adjusted to the tight spot then it should sound and feel alright but will just wear a lil quicker than if everything were in better condition.... keep an eye on it and replace when it gets too bad. you'll be surprised how long you can use it in this condition ;) - commuting 12 months of the year in the uk and having perfect chain n sprockets never happens.. you learn to live with tight spots as long as the loose spot isnt that far away
 
Had this problem last year.

Tightening it in the tight spot with weight on the bike has worked but it stretches the chain allot quicker. Seems like I was always adjusting it.
Its not perfect and will slacken as you drive, wear out swing arm bushing, axle bearings... just from the repeated on/off load.

I'm thinking of trying to remove the sprocket and moving it and trying. Just to see if there is a balanced spot. All while pricing new parts.
