if you can feel a fistful of snatch when you start pumping hard .... okay okay Ill start again before squid comes over .... someone?
If your chain is flapping about like slack Alice's laundry on a windy day it may be worth getting a second opinion as it may not be the chain... I knew it was loose back there but
oohh thats not good
all changed for a shiny new one gosh goes quicker and quieter now it isn't a belt drive
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Some say poorly maintained.. others simply say 'getting their money's worth out of it..'

Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly

I knew a Tuono owner who had a chain snap the day after he adjusted it.
Maintenance can be dangerous.

I know a person (no names mentioned) who let their chain get so loose it jumped off the rear sprocket and twisted the swing arm when it jambed, very lucky imo.
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"
