Fazer fzs 600 chain jump: http://youtu.be/gQKkDd2w118

19000 miles.
Some links are stiff. Wd40 and Clean and relube but no better
Sprockets ... Well how do I know if they need replacing
Chain freeplay within tolerance

Can't view It for soe reason, it says its private!

[Fazafou]

Yep, been uploaded as private.

If you mean chain jump whilst on the centre stand, it's normal, it's the momentum of the wheel trying to go faster than the chain.
It needs a weight load on it basically.


If you have stiff links, then the chain is on it's way out.
I always change the sprockets with the chain.


You can get a D.I.D. X ring chain and sprockets for around £100.


Last one here in gold at a good price, they look good on a bike when cleaned up.

Guys. I used my mobile with YouTube app. How do I remove private. No idea that'd happened. Sorry. Don't see any private setting anywhere

[keratos]

Sorted. Please try again

[darrsi]

As above!

[keratos]

As above!

what does this mean? "as above" - which above? You cant see the video, or your link to chain set or something else?

It's normal for a chain running like that with a wheel off the ground, under no load.


Nothing to worry about, absolutely normal - our FZS 600 does that with a nicely lubed, properly adjusted chain, when the bike is on it's centre stand - nothing to worry about.


Our FZS 1000 and FJ 1200 do exactly the same, and our Aprilia RSV 1000 is much worse - but all their chains are good and all work perfectly, in normal riding.

Thanks for the reply

There is one geek of a clunk and knock when the chain jumps... The bike moves. Seems to be coming from drive end. In going to strip and investigate

As above means read what i told you earlier in my previous reply!
I didn't need to see your video, the question has been asked several times before!

[keratos]

Sorry. I understand.
I will try again with load on
I do have did links and cleaning revealed minor rusting so I have ordered that kit you refer to
Many thanks and sorry

I assumed it was normal with mine but nice to get confirmation. Might sound silly but if I'm leaving it run a little like that (supervised of course), when I'm applying chain lube for instance will it cause any damage? I normally apply a small amount of revs and it's gone anyway.

That's not the way to apply lube.
It should be done by moving the wheel by hand so that the spray can get into the links properly either side.(when the chain is warm after a run out)
Doing it with the wheel moving (and chain jumping about) is not only bloody dangerous, but as you say it just flings it straight off, so it's just a waste of lube anyway.

[keratos]

Agreed

Er... This is how I do it, by hand , and slowly.  After a ride out and particularly a wet one !

(Smug)

Cheers

Don't get into that habit. Do it by hand. Get used to doing it by hand. A moving chain catching some loose clothing or loose body parts can end in catastrophe. Just don't do it.

I remember there was a picture of a guy on an american GSXR forum that lost 2 fingers when cleaning his chain with a cloth.

Graphic I ndeed. What next?... Putting arm through a spinning rear wheel to check play in the bearings. Jeez. Some people
