yesterday when i went to ride my bike, i noticed while going the bike was making strange rattling noises. i knew it was the chain, it was very slack. so i adjusted the chain, but the problem is still there... it sounds like something is grinding, and it is coming out where the speedo cable connects into. which i assume is the front sprocket? any idea why it is making this stupid noise?

Sorry

CHAIN TOO FUCKING TIGHT!

hmm. but the slack meets the haynes requirements. its between 15-25mm..

i will check it again then, but im pretty sure i measured it right.

Video the slack, movement,

that sounds like a classic tight chain, however it could be a stuck link, how well and often do you lube, what are the condition of the sprocket teeth, how old is the chain

cant be, jim, look at the video again its been removed

well the chain and sprockets i have not touched. so i have no idea how old they are... i do lube with chain oil every so often, but i can see some rusty links. i will make a video of the slack in an hour or so.

okay, here is the slack video, sorry for moving the cam about, the stupid exhaust pipe is in the way... i hope you can get an approximate reading from it.
