Hi All,
I recently cleaned my chain and inspected the wear of the chain, sprocket and other areas. I then adjusted the chain tension and put it all back together. since then Ive noticed a heavy vibration when riding . Its very uncomfortable at highway speeds for longer rides. I took a look at the chain thinking it was maybe to tight and if anything it seems loose. I also noticed little bits of rubber splattered on the fender area. I think its from the chain wear guard as it seems to be cutting into it just a little. I just wanted to check and see if there could be rubbing from somewhere else before I assume its just that. Also would a loose chain cause this constant vibration? It was loose before I adjusted it with no issues and I adjusted it tighter even though now it seems loose again. Could it have been too tight and then caused it to stretch? There is not major wear on the chain or sprocket everything looks good.
