ryan Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 just wondering if this is normal recently while getting onto the nj ternpike i noticed when going next to the concrete barriers that while on the throttle any amount i heard a chain noise, off the throttle coasting no chain noise at all chain is lubed, gets lubed once a week, as i put on close to 100miles a day on it thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacer Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yes it's normal, if it bothers you, the stock chain slack spec is too tight according to many, I agree, and loosened slack to 1" (eyeballed the same as the rest of the bikes I've ever ridden).
