chain noise
I get rear chain noise, like the chain hitting the guard on decelleration and sometimes when coasting to a stop. It I rebuilt this bike from a driveway rustbucket to a decent looking running bike. So i have new front and rear sprockets and I hade a new non-oring chain. It developed stretched-out spots so I replaced it with a good o-ring chain. It still does it. I plan on going to 530 chain next time it all wears out which will give me more clearance. I guess my question is, has anyone else had similar problems? Its just annoying and a little embarrassing going "clang, clang" coming to a stop. Its not all the time tho. Everything seems in alignment , the tension is even a little on the tight side.Tags: None

My GS1100E did that, most annoying, I was checking this and checking that, bending the chain guard, checking the chain tension, nothing worked
until I removed the chain guard and realized the chain was chaffing the front of the chain guard, I could see the shiny metal where it was worn clean, bent that out a little and haven't heard it since.sigpic
