Just got a new RK chain and new JT sprockets installed last week.
Old chain had at least 4 inches of lift on it lol....bike has 20k on it..probably original chain.....
Anyway..I digress....ever since new chain was installed there appears to be a noise coming up from the fork area of the bike.....when clutch is in and rolling at speeds noise stops.....as long as the chain is engaged and spinning the noise is there....
Was scared for a while thinking my front bearings were grinding.....
Is it normal during a new chains break in period there to be some degree of noise from the front sprocket area?
Chain was installed by a bike mechanic btw..I didn't do it myself....
