Hi Yall, Back into riding after 15 long years without a bike. Missus & I are absolutely loving it.
Got me a '03 suzy 1200 in mint condition. Have put a 17 tooth front sprocket on which has increased my fuel economy with two up from 17km/litre to 20km/litre. However I'm getting a chain slapping sound at lower speeds mainly in 2nd & 3rd gears under torque. Rear sprocket & chain are in good condition & alignment is perfect. Chain tension is now at 20mm instead of 30mm which hasn't really made alot of difference. Got any suggestions?
