Hey guys, So got my new paddock stand through the post, and had some time to clean the bike. So whipped it up on the stand and gave her a good wash. Now, when I went to oil the chain, turned bike on and into first (as I used to do on me gsxr600), and let the wheel turn. However, the chain...

Hi Guy's, Just put a new Pilot Power 2ct on the back of the bike, only just realised like a complete :jack ive gone and ordered a 190/55 instead of the 190/50 like it said in the manual. Problem is, it's rubbing the chain ever so slightly.Looks like i'm going to have to change it. Question...

Help please.........I'm thinking of getting a new chain to go with the new sprockets I fitted last year. I know I should have done it at the same time but the original only had 4k on it back then. Now done 9K and it seems like the old chain is starting to stretch too much. I'm having to...

Folks, Ive had my bike up on the paddock stand and had it running in gear to calibrate my gear indicator. Anyway, with the bike running the chain does slap around quite a bit, is this normal? Also when i spin the rear wheel I can hear a slight knocking noise like something is rattling round in...
