    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi all just fitted new chain and sprockets to my Gs thou real noticable whine now,was real quite before with worn out chain,all is lined up correct,tension correct and lubed,change back to original front rubber mounted sprocket and nosie got a bit less,any suggestions gladly received!
 
The rubber mounted sprocket is just a damper, sounds like something is not aligned right? Or you got the chain too tight. Go over your installation and make sure all is aligned and such. By the way, what size sprockets and chain are you using? Or like Grand Rouge said, maybe the primary gear whine you never heard before? I know a wore out chain well make all kinds of weird noises.

Is that 20mm with all up riding weight on board? The slack should be adjusted with the bike standing on its wheels with rider.

Yes with rider aboard wheels on ground...

It's still too tight. I run 50-75mm of slack in the lower chain run. Always have for many many years. If I tightened mine to 50 mm, it would be noisy and whining too.
 
Fitted Gen new Suzuki front sprocket,noise now gone Thanks to all who tried to help..Cheers Paul J
