I want to Know how a tight chain and suspension travel interact. This was in reply to vinegar_bend asking about chain tension and wheel resistance. I searched and there are way more posts about cam-chains...
So I wanna know why the 'recommended' on the RC feels Tight.
Isn't one of the worst...
Just a thought... I wonder how a tight chain and suspension travel interact. I shudder to think what a bit of bounce at 130Kph does when the chain limits suspension travel... Wouldn't the correct way to check a chain be to use a track stand, a rider and a buddy to measure sag and chain tension...

So I went to my 'local' KTM dealer and they said MID-August ! $230 BUCKS Cdn.
Then I found Motorcycle...

When Warm; I...

Thanks for the reply. 2018, 6000k. Delkevic+remap, 3-way rear. I've only ridden for 2000k- Ever. ( What the hell do people do with the extra 100 or 150 horses ? ) I am just about to pull fairings and install sliders. I should read a shop manual too.
