[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 672275, member: 22283"] Often times a chain will make noise if it is a bit too tight. Also, if the sprockets are slightly out of alignment, or the chain lacking lube, the set-up will make some noise. This may help: [url]http://best-motorcycle-chain-lube.com/Chain%20Maint.htm[/url] .....I came back to this thread to add a bit. Be sure to measure that chain. It is a used bike and quite probably worn out. Measure 10 pins center-to-center. New would measure 6.25". Worn would measure 6.4+". Worn chains almost always make noise. I have also had brand new set-ups, mounted perfectly, that also make noise when rolling the bike. I attribute this to close tolerences. If the chain is good and properly lubed, the sprockets are straight, and the tension proper....ride and be happy! :) [/QUOTE]
