Thats exactly the reason why i bought the whole set instead of just the chain. You never know what the previous owner might have replaced or not. I bought a whole bunch of chainlube so i'll be taking care of this chain like its my baby from now on :) That might explain it, i'm getting a little...

I just got done replacing the chain, front & rear sprocket ánd the cush drives. And the bike drives like a charm! The front sprocket was very worn and the chain aswell. I made some pictures in the process to let you guys know what the sprocket looked like. The only problem i still have is that...

In total it has 28.000 km's. I've ridden around 3k km on it so far.

I couldnt wait for my parts to arrive. So i took my rear wheel off to inspect my cush drives. The previous owner had already put in little pieces of innertube inbetween the cush drives. So it was already worn when i bought it 3000km ago. I replaced the innertube with fresh pieces and a little...

Yesterday i checked the tension of my chain by pulling it on the end of the sprocket. The chain is waaaay to loose. So i ordered a new chain+sprockets, i should be getting them saturday so i'll let you guys know if the bike runs smoother after replacing the: - Chain - Front sprocket - Rear...

I wasn't even riding fast, it might have been the bump in combination with a loose chain and a ton of bad luck. The sprocket and chain was supposed to be new (thats what the dealer told me), and by looking at it the sprocket its teeth are not really worn, but im a total noob, so i could be...

I'll definitely check the front sprocket nut, and i already ordered new cush drives. The bike does indeed feel very jerky and the cush drives are defenitely worn out. I'll check the rear wheel bearings aswell as they might indeed be worn too. If im lucky all the parts will be delivered friday...

It might be the cush drive block, my paddock stand gets delivered this week so i'll have a look if the cush drive block seems a little worn or not.

I must admit it was very loose when it jumped off. I havent checked the front sprocket if its loose or not, i'll check that after dinner to make sure. When i bought the bike in january this year ive ridden close to 3000 km on it, the dealer where i bought it said that the sprocket and chain...

I had adjusted the tension so it could touch the rubber strip. But once i moved the bike 4meters forward the chain was waay tighter than it was before i moved it. So i had to adjust the chain a little on the tighest spot, but once i rolled it back 4 meters again, the chain was considerabily...

Thanks for the reply. I had the chain on 40-50mm slack but that made the chain pop off the rear sprocket, but you're right it has a big variation. Gonna check the chain after work tomorrow to see if im able to lift it away for more than 2-3mm, i'll let you know.

I was riding on the highway when my chain jumped off my rear sprocket, all probally due to a way to loose chain. In the meanwhile i have tightened my chain to a reasonable tension. But i was wondering how tight my chain should be. On the tightest part it has about 1cm space and on the loosest...
