I've been adjusting my primary chain according to the manual. There is a big difference between the tight spot and the rest of the chain. I've adjusted it to the recommended 3/8 at the tightest spot but it looks awfully loose everywhere else. Bike has done 18,000 miles and looks to have been well looked after so I don't think it has been short of transmission oil. I've changed it and the right amount came out.
When should you change a primary chain?
I've read that sometimes it's the sprockets which cause the tight spot and I guess I could find out by taking the case off and marking the chain to see if the tight spot moves around at all?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
