    wierd clicking from the front sprocket

    Hey everyone,

    when i ride there are no clicking. however as soon as i slow down, or just roll on the first gear though an inter section or so that clicking re-appear. any idea what could be the problem?

    p.s i did try to change the tension, if i losen it too much there will be no sound. but if i properly tension it the sound will be there.

    Thanks alot

    Sounds like a roller is binding, the chain is stretched to the max, or it's loose on the sprocket. New chain fixes that.
    90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

      I'd change the sprockets also.

        The bike has 14000km on it. is it a normal time for the chain and sprockets to go?

        Thanks again

          As they always say, "it depends". If your chain is stretched and worn, it may be time for a new one. Check the wear in on the sprocket teeth. It is usually recommended to change the sprocket if the teeth are significantly worn. They should still have a clean, straight sawtooth shape to them (both sides of the teeth relatively even). Using a worn chain for too long will contribute to accellerated wear on the sprocket teeth.

            It all depends on how well the chain was taken care of, cleaned, lubed, adjusted.
