Hello everyone,
Ive been building bikes for about a year now and i ran into a serious problem,
I built a great mb and it has over 1200 miles on it. Now ive had everything in the book happen from chain misalignments, seized engines, bent frame, and chains completely shearing off. Mind you my bike is a real runner. Upon leaving for two months and returning i went to start my bike. Started great and everything was good untill i pulled out the clutch for the third time. Chain snagged inside the clutch housing in the usual spot. So naturally their is an alignment issue or a chain with too much slop. So i put my tensioner on the higher setting (now the top chain has 1/2 inch deflection) i go to restart it same thing happens. Compression is perfect and the engine turns over but the chain keeps getting caught. The chain is aligned fine too so ive repeated the process so much idk where to turn. Btw i was pulling clutch out slowly at 10mph.
Using nice 41 chain btw*
Any help would be great.
