Jordyshaw Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hey, having a little problem with my Yam. Every other day i'm having to re-adjust the chain. It slacks so much so often like every other day. I always tighten the nuts and bolts on the adjust part well so nothing is coming lose, but it doesn't change (still slacks). Any ideas, thanks.

megawatt Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 How many miles on it. Sounds like chain knackered or spindle/adjusters not tightened properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Sounds like it's knackered beyond adjustment . Get a good quality chain and sprocket set . Spend around £40 to £50 , anything less is false economy . JT sprockets and DID chain would be a good choice . Don't worry about gold chain , it's only going to turn to shit especially if you get salt on it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I always buy DID Gold chains. Never had a problem with the sideplates rusting or brass coating corroding. I do lube the chain with Wurth every 200 miles , so it's probably protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an everyday commuter I was merely suggesting that the extra pennies might be better spent on the quality of the chain . Or on a tin of Wurth !

megawatt Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Had a gold chain and rear sprocket on my blue Fireblade. It did look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
