Hey People,
Thank goodness for this forum and others like it
. Theyre so helpful and informative.
Anyway, Ive got 2 Ninja 250ex bikes (one for parts), and a problem with the running one. My chain tension changes as I turn the rear wheel when its jacked up. It also does this while riding. It makes a loud rubbing sound when the tension increases every half second (depending on the speed Im going). It seems to me that my front sprocket is messed up or the shaft it is connected to is warped (causing it to go back and forth towards the front and rear as it spins).
My rear sprocket looks fine and my chain is well oiled. I believe the rear wheel is well balanced thanks to the built in measuring kinks on either side of the rear wheel-shaft.
Does this ring a bell loud and clear with anyone? If so, let me know what you did to remedy the problem.... please
ps: anyone think that I should NOT use a haynes repair manual for the ninja 500ex with my 250? Nobody makes them for the 250s :?
