Bansheeman1121 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Chain seems tight but when i crack on the shee in 1st 2nd or 3rd gear i can hear and feel it skip or somthin anyone else have this problem Quote
shee rips Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 make sure there are teeth on your sprockets, especially the front :thumbsup: Quote
Justintoxicated Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Check the splines on the rear sprocket hub Quote
txalky Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 I've had 2 things happen like this, 1st was a new sprocket(rear) that was supposed to be for a banshee but if you wrapped the chain around the sprocket about 3/4 around the chain would start missing the teeth(hope I am making sense). 2nd was when I left hard from a stand still the chain would pick up the slider and a slap(slider hitting swingarm) would be heard.

Was it a new chain. If it was the old one then yes it wont match the teeth on a new sprocket because the old chain is stretched. New chain needed. Quote
txalky Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 No both new. Changed to another sprocket and all was well. I think it must have been a defect. Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 it really can only be your sprockets worn or chain stretched.. the axle/hub splines could happen but its not gonna last long. those splines are small and i would think once they start skipping, youre gonna be buying new axle/hub in no time. id recheck your tightness of the chain.. the problem almost has to be there or worn sprockets.

swrbansheeboy Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 yea, if it were the splines on the hub it would only skip once then no-go...unless you spun it so much it welded itself back together. i'd be checking out your sprockets... Quote
dajogejr Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Make sure your rollers on top/bottom of the chain on the frame are there and can roll as well. 9 times out of 10, it's worn sprockets/chain or mis-adjustment. Quote
