Clicking?

Ok, now I don't know if this is supposed to do this, I never noticed it b4, but I was moving the bike out of the garage today, and I heard a clicking. Sounded like it was coming from the chain or sprocket....Is this normal? If not, WTF over? Thanks

Dan

maybe cam chain, is your chain loose or tight, check the chain

have about 1/4" - 3/8" slack

chain sounds good. any noise when reving it up????

nope

have to get down and see if anything is rubbing or i am stumped sorry bro

1/4" to 3/8" slack is NOT enough. Chain is way too tight. As the back end compresses when you hit a bump or digging in a corner fast the suspension needs chain slack to perform correctly. If your chain is clicking just from rolling the bike then most likely it's shot. The clicking sound is the rollers popping out of the teeth.

gotcha....thanks

i had no idea about the chain making that noise. sorry my bad

I have personally destroyed too many chains -- hence the screen name If you personally have never killed one then just do a little superior dance and feel happy. It is my bane to be a chainstretcher

As you push your bike, you need to monitor your chain slack and adjust as needed. A chain too tight with make the noise you spoke of.
