chain

Noticed my chain looked slack on checking free play it was 50mm the handbook says it should be 5-15mm that chain has stretched some in 3000 miles has anyone else experienced this

watcha all , went out for a ride tonight and the time just flew by , literally !!!!! my clock seems to gain about 5 to 6 minutes a month , has anyone else noticed this ? the MT 07 I had last year did exactly the same , that gained 35 minutes in six months !! thought something was wrong when...

I had it done on its 600 mile service, and i have now hit 1500 miles or just under, chain was starting to look a tad mucky so went for it. Quite high mileage without a re-lube but to be fair the bike i sonly ridden in the dry so was well lubed and didn't really need it before. Have to say its...

Quick word of warning to those with new bikes especially. Checked my chain tension at 390 miles for first time this morning (I know, I should use it more, and clearly should have checked it more especially), despite correct running in procedure ie not revving the nuts off it or pulling wheelies...

I found that the method for checking the tension of the chain is different which stated on workshop manual and owner manual, which one should I follow? Workshop manual said the rear wheel should be elevated; however, owner manual said the bike just stand by the side-stand. p. s. Sorry for my...

Got back from a run to the coast today and noticed that I'd managed to lose my right hand chain adjuster along the way. Keep those lock nuts checked and tight people.

What mileage/timescales are people cleaning, adjusting and lubing their chain? Cheers

Just wondering if the manual for the tracer shows the same amount of chain slack as the mt09, or have they corrected it?

Just wondering what you folks preferences were as regards chain lube? I use Wurth Dry Lube and have found it ok -used it for a few years but am always open to other suggestions... Cheers

;)First of all,Happy New Year to you all.Took rear wheel out to get some AC50 in some nooks and crannies and fit a Hugger.Failed to check slack on chain before removing wheel.It will be easier to adjust chain while bike on abba stand.So guys has anybody got chain slack measurement when bike is...

seen these on eBay has anyone tried them? I have heard a great deal of controversy regarding wheel alignment and bad adjusters. I personally haven't had an issue but there again I have only adjusted my chain twice. well gonna be doing a few trackdays and hill climbs so any info?

So i was thinking of buying this : 8796 SCARICO COMPLETO LEOVINCE UNDERBODY Yamaha MT-07 2014 | eBay i think that it comes in a good price what do you think? my only concern is that it is really close to the rear wheel and the fumes.......pointing the rear tyre! do you think that this mite be a...

Hi there, Was wondering which security solutions you guys have for your MT-07. As for me - two must-have items are: disk lock + chain lock. I'm about to switch from maxi-scooter (with plenty of storage compartments) to naked bike (with almost none). The question is - how to carry/mount chain...

I had adjusted my chain about a week ago and yesterday I heard a clicking noise as I moved the bike in the garage, I thought maybe I'd overtightened the chain or misaligned the wheel. So put the bike on side stand and checked, chain slack was 52mm, a bit tight maybe so thought I'd slacken it a...

Chain thing is in the manual.. Been rather rainy weather last couple of weeks...surely you shouldnt need to clean it every time? I did spray some parts with ACF50 when iv got the bike...

Hi, Is it just me whose Dealership refuses to acknowledge the Cam Chain Tensioner rattle being a widespread problem? When it first went in for the fault (around 900 miles on clock), they tightened it, then eventually replaced it under warranty for free, but said that I was the only one who...
