Chain adjustment question

(1/5) > >>

SPR:
When I changed the swingarm I noticed the chain was quite slack so adjusted it on fitting the new swingarm.

Went for a run and came back - checked things over and noticed the chain was again slack - no problem I must have not tightedned everything ... so adjusted again ....

Now something made me spin the wheel and check the play at different points on the chain - and it varies from too tight / too loose / just right

Am I correct in thinking the chain probably wants changing due to stretch etc

If so any recommendations as to make / supplier

Thanks

Simon

Sesman:
Possibly chain and sprockets I’d say?

Laverdaroo:
sounds like it, sounds like you have some tight spots too. Change it, they're not dear. I got one from Mr silver  recently and I dont think it was more than £40.

Laverdaroo:
meant to say, change the sprockets, too. Cheap as chips ....

SPR:
Thanks guys ....would my limited skills be able to do the sprockets aswell ?
