Chain Rub?

[Grambo]

what happens is when you sit on bike that free play goes away , an inch aint enuff
ideally you need to have someone set the free play at 3/4 inch with your weight on the seat ,

Ill measure it then and see what we come up with. will also inspect the forward sprocket guard for crap. Sprockets are looking a bit tired. Maybe time for a new chain and sprockets but the riding season is quickly coming to a close here in the northeast. My ride in was in the upper 30F's

at over 40k the chain and sprocket had to have been replaced at least once ........................

but yeah a worn chain and sprocket set will make lot's of noise , and I will almost guarantee that the front sprocket is toast

What will a new chain and two new sprockets run me? Looks like $207 + shipping from Triumph. Anything cheaper out there?

Yes, there is a huge aftermarket out there on chains and sprockets. I would just stick to a nice brand name like JT sprockets. They make a lot of parts for Japanese bikes. Ebay is a good source...

Yes sir, I keep that same link on JT in my favorites. I think you can do a lot better on that pricing. I'm so tight on cash that I squeak when I walk.

Best Chain to get in your opinion? Looks like I can get  the two sprockets off Amazon for about $60 shipped. Thanks

Before you pull the trigger. You might do a search on these forums about a 19T front sprocket. I just hate to have you not fully informed.

Oh...19T? OK

It's not a bad thing. It suppose to be an "upgrade" of sorts. Makes highway riding better with taller gears.

Yes...I am hearing a bit more sluggish to get going and more throttle in the traffic and parking lots. Curious  :icon_wink: But quieter and lower RPM's at cruising speeds?

Still trying to locate the right chain. Amazon says that the Z1R 530/114 doesn't work with my bike...but I'm pretty sure that it does??
