chain catching

agreat1 · Aug 18, 2008

Hi guys - ME AGAIN
went out yesterday with the missus on the back
problem is the chain was catching on the exhaust link pipe (centre piece)
is that because i didn't have enough preload or could it be slightly bent pipe
catching enough to make a noise and leave a mark
photo to follow

tried to photo the mark but cant get the angle, but you can see its directly below the chain, enought room when its just me, but 2 up catches

The collector can rock slightly on the headers. It will move a fair bit with the cans loose. Try rocking yours down a bit on that side which will raise the opposite side a smidge.

Bigger rear sprockets aggrevate it as they make the chain run lower. Partly why i went 15 up front and kept rear a bit smaller.

My Motto

if in doubt - get the hammer out

especially as i've just ordered a 42 tooth rear sprocket

so it will need manipulating
lol
