It is a Vortex brand. I ordered a vortex front and a vortex rear. Funny how the new one would not mesh up. Time to send it back!

So i got it fixed! Went to yamaha and bought a new stud and replaced that so i could eliminate 1 problem. When i got home i put the hub on the axle mocked it up on the bike and noticed that the chain would not seat fully on that NEW rear sprocket. I then put the old sprocket on the hub...

Hey guys so last night for a few hours i played around with the alignment of the chain and for the life of me cannot get this thing running true. I am taking the hub in to a shop this morning to seeif soneone can do me a favor and get the stripped nut off for me and the. I will start fresh. Was...

Ok what ive discovered is that the chain goes tight when the rear sprocket is in 1 location because the teeth of sprocket contact the roller surface on the chain instead of meshing. Any thoughts on what could cause this?

Wondering if when i installed my master link if I put that too tight if it would cause this problem? However when i installed it i kept checking the masterlink and it moves freely no binding , and when the chain gets tight the master link i installed is in the middle of the swingarm.

I ordered a 120 link chain and removed 1 link before installing. I mocked it up with the 120 link chain and it was too long so I removed a link. I didnt think the cush drive would have much of an impact , but when I get home from work tonight I will start all over from square one removing the...

It turned smooth with the old sprocket on there too , just with the new one installed I got this problem. Might have to go buy a tap set and rethread that hole in the cush drive and torque everything propper if the tension adjustment doesnt work.

Thanks for your help and suggestions everyone. I am going to try adjusting the chain tension when the chain gets tight there and see if that solves the problem. If it does , i will still pull the wheel off and check the cush drive and fix that stripped stud. Also , the little rubbers inside the...

I can try getting 2" free play at that tight spot , and if i get the tension right where it is tight and then check the wheel again and it doesnt tighten up i guess im golden , but if I loosen the chain at that spot to get my tension and then it gets super loose when i spin tire i guess i have...

I guess what I can try first is adjusting chain tension from that tight spot if I can , I already have the axle almost all the way forward. If i set the tension from that tight spot and then the chain doesnt get super loose where its not tight right now I guess I solved my problem. Just kind of...

I tightned the nuts in a star pattern. I have not rode the bike yet as the chain gets super tight when it gets to that point so I don't want to drive it until I get smooth movement with correct tension. I had the rear wheel off last week to have new tires installed and never had this problem...

Hi Folks, Installed new chain and sprockets today. 3 things happened during the install: #1 - When removing locknuts from rear sprocket 5 nuts came off and 1 nut came off with a stud is this normal? When I went to torque the new sprocket on 5 of the 6 nuts torqued and the last one would...

Re: Tight spot in chain after new sprocket/chain install *clarification* The chain tension is tight , not really any particular links.

Tight spot in chain after new sprocket/chain install Hi Folks, Installed new chain and sprockets today. 3 things happened during the install: #1 - When removing locknuts from rear sprocket 5 nuts came off and 1 nut came off with a stud is this normal? When I went to torque the new sprocket...

Well the new chain and sprocket arrived today. I got working on it before work. Installed the front sprocket with no issues. Installed the new chain with no issues , had to take a link out to make it shorter. When I pulled the rear sprocket off all of the locknuts came off , but then one of the...

Thanks all for your replys. I have 23000 km on the bike and it appears to be stock chain and sprockets. I am waiting for my new chain and sprockets to arrive this week I also ordered a motionpro chain alignment tool so hopefully with these new parts the noise goes away!

Hi Folks, Replaced tires and steering head bearings over the weekend and the bike handles awesome now. Just one question , i string aligned the rear wheel and now get a slight "clicking" noise when taking off out of 1st gear. It sounds liek the chain is binding up on the rear sprocket. I...

Decided to stay with the stock 16-46 tooth sprocket combination and looking at an EK SRO-Z 530-120 chain. I am also thinking about getting one of them motion-pro chain alignment tools for $20 as the string method works but this will make things easier. Any thoughts on this tool?

So I did some inspecting tonight on the bike and noticed that I have 16t front and 46t rear sprockets. The front sprocket shows signs that the chain has been rubbing into the face of it as it is grooved out. I played around with string aligning and the tire didnt seem to be really out of...

Hi All, Just ordered myself some Metzeler Sportec M5 tires and all balls racing steering head bearing kit hopefully this improves my ride. My question is though trying to find new chain and sprockets. I am not a stunter , I commute 6km each way to work but plan to do more touring this summer...
