chain

hi guys can someone please advise me what to check .cos the markers on the swing arm are both set on the same marker. but i am unsure which to adjust next or which is the best way to set it right and by how much should the chain miss the tyre by my tyre is a 190 /50/17

hi got another problem first of all thanks for help up front. Right my idel revs are irratic up down +- 50-100 depending, also when moving on low revs and putting power down from low revs i can hear the chain slapping and cacthing, the slack is ok. do you think the front cog may need chaging or...

I'm going to attempt this myself for the first time, got a new DID X ring, 15 tooth front spocket and 42 tooth rear. So any tips would be useful.

I've had a good search on here about chain and sprockets but still unsure. I need to order my chain and sprockets today. Going for the 16/44 but the chain length is getting to me. So people say 108 as it will just fit and others say 110. If I fit the 110, how much play will I have to adjust it...

alright guys, i've got the above mentioned chain sitting in the garage and wondered if it will be suitable for the Tuono with 16/44 combo? It's a 110 link. Gettin that feckin sss again off asap after readin longfingers thread! Cheers again.

Fitted new chain and sprocket's a few week's back 16/44 rethal sprocket's and a Triple sss gold x ring chain, usually I would put a DID on but local bike shop was doing a good deal. Anyway 300 mile's max on them, went for a blast yesterday with a few o the lad's, done about 50 mile's hard riding...

has anyone else had this problem? just had new tyres fitted to my wheels, changed from a 180 to a 190 and when i've put the wheels back on, the chain is just slightly touching the side of the tyre:eek: what the ****? please some one tell me it's an easy fix without going back to a 180, lol.

Bike on rear stand, I adjust roughly to be right then lock everything. Then I measure on bike stand and damn, chain goes tight. Instead of 25mm I get to 15mm. Also, when I lock axle bolt it seems left side of the wheel pulls for a 1mm rearwards tightening the chain although both screws on the...

Time for a new chain!!! Any recommendations chaps??? Not even to sure how many links i need, im running the original chain at the mo but have renthal sprockets. 15/42 Thanks in advance :thumbup

Gidday - Hoping someone can assist. I purchased my first ever Aprilia a month ago. She developed a timing chain rattle. then the big end exploded ( me and the missus were shattered ) Got quoted a ridiculous price to fix her - so decided to fix it myself. Had the con rods shut and tunnel bored...

I mistakenly fitted a 108 link chain to my rsvr fac. ( 106 standard ). There`s obviously too much slack , but i have a 42t rear sprocket coming in the post. Will I be able to get the propper tension with a 16/42t combo with a 108 link chain?or will i have to get another soft link and cut the...
