Hello All! First, I must apologize for not researching this in the archives first. My ISP at home is down and I can't get to e-groups at work. I just set up the extra rims on saturday with a Kenda 270 up front and a Cheng Shin in back. Used the old 43T rear sprocket and all other hardware is new including bearings. Also used a new 14T front sprocket. I adjusted the chain with my roommate who is about my size sitting on the bike. I figured since it is for mild street and mostly dirt, a bit looser is better so I set it at 24mm loaded. The bike just rolled 4K miles so I used the original chain. New chain is coming. It runs great and has LOTS more torque and revs 4000 at 50 mph. Great in the little bit of dirt I could find. My question is that the rear wheel seems very noisy below 5 mph and coasting. Seems to go away with mild braking or power. Above 5 mph there is no noise. Sounds like I need to tighten the chain a bit? Any suggestions? Thanks, Jim Jackson II A13 - South Carolina ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Make sure the knobs are not brushing lightly against the inside of the chain guard. Mark B2 A2 At 5:49 AM -0700 6/12/2000, Jim Jackson wrote:

That's basically how tail lights on Harleys are. I'd make a clear epoxy window in the bottom of the tail light. Fortunately, the vehicle inspectors haven't busted my balls about the lack of illumination on my plate. Mark B2 A2 At 8:06 AM -0700 6/12/2000, Dash Weeks wrote:
