It's the first time I've watched it since being a Fazer owner and I leapt out of my chair shouting "That's my bike!!!  How frickin' cool is that!?! I've got the bike of a Yakuza nutter!!"


I found a clip on YT

I was pushing my bike into the garage and notice a repeating click/ting noise.  After some investigation I found the following:


When on the centerstand and rotating the rear wheel slowly forward I can see the chain is hard to the right as it passes over the top of the sprocket.  As it passes around, the chain slips to the left (which is what is making the noise), so that when it is on the bottom half of the sprocket it is hard to the left.


Is this normal?


I tried to work out the physics of it, wondering if it was caused by the wheel not being align properly, but I figure it's an up-down misalignment, not front-rear.


I also wondered if this might happen if the chain was too tight?


Any ideas?

Tank cover has no marks and all clips working 100%
Cant find the bag model details anywhere but it has an internal rain cover & is zip-expandable to over 30 litres.
