Chain rubbing on swingarm guide !
Permalink  
 


Just wondering if this is supposed to be right I have a 16 front and the chain is running along the chain guide bit on the swingarm linkage I thought it was because the front sprocket was the wrong size but it seems to be standard being a 16?

Is it ment to be this way as this is my first DT and have nothing to compare against it just seems strange as wont it wear out the chain and the guide ?

Can add a photo if needed suppose I should also measure rear sprocket just baffling me as i'm sure there should at least be a few mil of clearance !

Nothing to do with the sprocket sizes mate, maybe you've over tightened your chain causing it to catch on the guard more?

Put up some photos so I can have a mooch.

Make sure the wheel is at the correct tightness and straight! i.e. make sure the snails are on the same number

What's it like when you put your weight on it? Just sit on it and have a look, the Suspension will sag a bit when you're on the bike lifting the chain off the guide.

As long as it's not rubbing too bad I wouldnt worry about it mate.
