[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1296613, member: 68872"] If you give the front wheel a good spin it could still be rotating a few minutes later as long as the brake rotor is not dragging. If you remove the chain off the rear wheel it should do the same. With the chain on, however, it will not continue to freewheel because there is simply too much drag in the system. The chain itself has drag, each link rotating with respect to the adjacent link. The chain also rubs against the sprockets as it engages. It is common for the chain to rub against the chain guide (bottom of the rear sprocket). Since the wheel is driving the chain (instead of the engine) the slack moves to the top and the chain will slide along the plastic rub pad on the swing arm. The chain may be laying against a roller. The chain is also turning the transmission, turning gears inside. The gears and bearings are lubed with oil which has a viscosity drag. If you give the rear wheel a good spin it might continue to rotate for a few seconds but I wouldn't expect much beyond that. Rod [/QUOTE]
