atcandbanshees Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'm going to add more rubber engine dampers see if that's helps the chain issue and make sure there is no binding. Do u think adding a roller tensioner would help since I'm running a +12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Definitely run a tensioner. I'd run one on anything more than a +6... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I put 4 dampers on mine, couldn't see where it could hurt. (didn't see where the factory 2 could help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadarRacing Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Does it ever sound like your trans is popping? Which is many times your chain popping on the front sprocket as it is kinda trying to climb over and pop off the sprocket. It can do it while riding slow with no load and that would be swingarm alignment. If it does it when you have a load and are accelerating that can be motor tweaking. You can add extra stock washers like the rear motor mount has and add then to the front. I had to get Stellars adjustable bottom motor mount struts. They fixed my problems. $55 well spent.

possum Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 All that Radar said can also happen with a loose chain. The popping that is. Maybe invest in better chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atcandbanshees Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 It does Make ratcheting noise when launching I'm gonna buy those grommets and try that along with spring roller tensioner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 If you dont have the extra half washers in the front get them and put them in the front mounts. They come stock only in the rear bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 If you dont have the extra half washers in the front get them and put them in the front mounts. They come stock only in the rear bolt. Actually from the factory they are on the left of the front bolt and on the right of the rear bolt.

bangsheelover Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 better chain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 If you're hearing the popping noise, you need to inspect your sprockets and chain tightness. I've never run a tensioner with my +14, but some people swear by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I am with loco, I run a +14 swingarm and have never used a chain tensioner. Maybe I'm just lucky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you just keep your chain adjusted properly and use quality shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
