Is it weird for the chain to have tight and looses spots? i know it is supposed to do it a little, but when i tightened mine today, it can be taught and really tight on one part, but have almost two inches of slack somewhere else. normal? it makes a clunking noise every few feet (every chain revolution i think) any ideas? TIA

 

Soiunds like you are in need of a new chain.

 

Yes, oil that sucker a lot, almost every ride. It sounds like your chain is junk.


tbsleeper........I would fix the play in your swing arm(by the bolts) by either tightening them up, or replacing the little plastic washers, or the bushings........otherwise you could break a chain like I did, or even worse, a case.......

I was also running quite a bit of hp(probably close to 55-60) and running mx/xc with a sport.......probably not a good idea........
