ds Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Have any of you guys had a noise when decelerating? Sounds like a chain noise! It used to only make the noise when decelerating on highway speeds. Now it's more noticeable at local speeds when decelerating. Can it be the chain making noise? Thanks!

Premium Member hobbs Posted August 23, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 23, 2014 Have you measured the chain slack yet? At the 600 mile service the dealer will tighten the chain, or you can do it yourself sooner. Everything went braap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah I'll have to check the chain slack... I only have 150 miles on it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MXRider Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yeah give the chain a look. Many members are reporting theirs stretched very quickly and were in need of an adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Maybe i should get a better chain instead of the OEM one and switch them out right after i get the bike to avoid this issue? "Shoot?

Global Moderator Guru Posted August 23, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2014 The OEM chains are good, it just stretches the first couple of 100 miles. After that it settles in and you don't have to worry about it much. And yes, the can be noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Checked it earlier today and is off by 0.30 of an inch! Haven't adjusted it yet. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qjohnson Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 My chain stretched quite a bit. I have 150 miles on her and it has about 3.5 inches of slack where it's supposed to be measured at 2 inches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Adjusted chain today and went for a ride. Chain noise when decelerating is no longer there at any speeds. I mean there's going to be some noise but not a loud crackling noise. Now I hear another noise that sounds like the same noise but only when accelerating. I don't know if its my head that is the same noise or not.. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviede Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Mine stretched to just over 3" of slack after only 500km on the bike. 2015 Matte Metallic Grey FZ-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
