K my rear brake rotor was moving back and forth so i tightened the 2 big axle nuts to make it stop and it quit moving. Now when I ride it and mainly when I turn it makes a noise like the chain is binding. I thought maybe it was too tight so I loosened it. Still does it. I am clueless and if I get it fixed soon I can go back to this MX track. Please help me here guys! And I just replaced the axle bearings like 4 months ago. PLEASE HELP MEEEE!!!

 

Mine did the same thing its the chain it get dry and tightens up when you make turns it feels like its going to brake but its nothing to be concerned about just grease it well and go riding.

 

Well did your make a nasty noise when you went around turns? Becuase we greased the crap out of the chain.

 

Mine made really bad screeching noises and it made it a lil bit hard to turn when turning slowly and you hold the clutch and dosent run that smoothly. And when in Neutral.

 

I never paid attention to it and it the sound went away never had problems with the chain again.

 

The sound it makes isn't really screeching its like the chain is hitting off of something and making it like hold it back and when it releases it makes a noise. Dunno...my dad seems to think my axle bearings are bad even tho we just replaced them like 4 months ago.

 

do you have an aftermarket chain roller on it?

 

Yeah the one the chain rides on is an MSR chain roller. The top on is stock however. The chain guide is also stock.

 

If the chain is old than it is prolly normal because mine did it a few times so did my father warrior. If the chain is brand new then thats not normal. Try to give it a few test runs to check the chain needs to be adjusted or something else.

 

It was the axle bearings. My dad took them apart and they were full of creek water and completely dry. Oh well...nothing major, Only thing is I won't be able to go back to the track [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. Oh well, theres always some other time.
