Too tight a chain!!!!

[BrianC]

Not on the storm but on my blade

Not had it put much at all since i had new sprockets and chain, but planned a spin to work this morning but when i rolled it out yesterday there was an ominous noise from the front sprocket area, and with no time to investigate i feared the gearbox drive shaft bearing had gone, which would have meant a full engine strip and £300 for the shaft.

Investigated this afternoon and found chain was way too tight, slackened it off and set it properly and thank god its ok!!!

I suspect the guy who fitted chain etc set it, then tightened rear axle nut which on the blade seems to tighten the chain

Time to get Storm 1 fixed now

That's why I do all my own work, and never trust a dealer.

That will be the blade written off then is it? I'll give you a tenner for it, will also give you some more space in that cave of yours.
