Author Message   Doerman Posted on Monday, June 25, 2007 - 11:35 am:        I set the chain too tight at last service (600 miles ago). I loosened it back to within spec. My question is: have I caused any damage to anything by having it too tight for 600 miles? Asbjorn   Blake Posted on Monday, June 25, 2007 - 12:00 pm:        Keep an eye on the related roller bearings (engine and tranny sprocket shafts). Those would be the most likely victims of a too tight chain. Hopefully all will be okay.   Doerman Posted on Monday, June 25, 2007 - 12:04 pm:        Thanks Blake.. What might be a sign that the roller bearings are giving up the ghost? Asbjorn   Blake Posted on Monday, June 25, 2007 - 03:47 pm:        Strange growling noises and/or new vibrations that vary with engine speed. Lots of metal bits in your primary/tranny fluid.   Fullpower Posted on Monday, June 25, 2007 - 04:24 pm:        It has undoubtedly suffered grievous damage. The whole bike is due to grenade very soon. sell it to me cheep.   Djkaplan Posted on Tuesday, June 26, 2007 - 11:31 am:        How tight was it?
