I agree.... Change them all at the same time BEFORE they need it -----Original Message----- Date: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 9:03:20 pm To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> From: "Tree Doc" <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Chain adjustment and rear brake
Your chain is possibly worn close to maximum specs. You should check the Service Manual for the proper method of determining stretch. Many will call for a measurement between 20 consecutive rivets and if your at max or near, things start to wear unusally and sprockets begin to shark tooth. Chains also do not stretch evenly. They will get tight sections, then loose sections. Measurement of these 2 areas will vary with the same amount of tension.Chains and BOTH sprockets should be changed at the same time. It's a waste to do one or the other and not all. ~Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
