I am now officially out of chain tension adjustment capability on my '95 FZR600 on the 2nd set of chain and sprockets.
how much are these supposed to stretch??
history:
~24k, got a new set of chain and sprockets
~32k, it had a lot of tight and loose spots, and stretched beyond adjustment
~32k, replace it with RK/Vortex chain and sprockets
~45k, it is now out of the range of tension adjustment
when I don't ride it for a week or so, I'll lube it that day. When I'm daily commuting (~70-100 miles/day), it goes bone dry within 3 days or so, at which I re-lube it.
I tried cleaning and lubing, but the cleaning was once/month tops...more like once every 2-3 months.
Now I clean and lube every wekk, and it's still out of adjustment....I only commute on it, with the occasional clutched wheelie that lasts about 20-30 feet.
first set of chain/sprockets were a cheapo brand...so I got the RK/Vortex, but these are about the same
