Hello Everyone! My name is Lewis and I'm fairly new to motorized bikes and I hope to help the community in anyway I can!
Anyway... On to my questions. What would be considered good chain tension?
I seem to need to true my sprocket at the moment because, I seem to have issues with my chain tightening up then becoming too loose.
My problem is that I can't seem to get the rear sprocket centered. Any tips or pointers?
Also I made my own spring loaded chain tensioner which, only works sometimes...
It has crazy amount of tension but, when I go to dump the clutch the chain gets stuck in the engine sprocket box and I end up burning my tire up and I have to take the clutch arm off and fix the bind chain.
I plan on using this bike to go to my job site but, I'm greatly discouraged right now.
I hope I posted this in the right area.
Thanks for reading!
