Chain problem

[csrmel]

chains on banshees and similar motorcycle setups typically dont stretch unless thay are some made in china junk or you have a chain thats way to small for the torque of the gearbox. like using a size 420 chain on a cbr 900rr hahaha.

 

what REALLY happens when a typical chain gets slack is the pins, bushings, rollers in the chain and to a lesser extent the sprockets physically WEAR DOWN. but no they dont stretch. maybe on a microscopic level they could stretch, but its not enough to ever require an adjustment.

 

its just the chain wearing down.

i rip the ek drag chain its lightend has like hole marks every link , preety dope and hasnt loosed up on me yet , supposbly its a higher tensile strength and the guy i got it from said if i ever broke it he would give me a free one . so well best damn chain money has ever bought me ,,,,,, EK DRAG CHAIN

 

SURE chains will stretch , the cheapy ebay ones that are 15 , are good for blasters but anything with balls just stretches that cheap aluminum foil chain .......

 

get a real chain and dont deal with the stretching bullshit for awhile ....

makes sence , but i have ripped the ebay chains completly from the middle of the link coming out the hole , even where they link together was still intact so some sort of stretch/give factor went on there
