Rear tire..

[kkattan]

hey Guys.. me again

well. i notice on side of my tire.. side with chain.. seems to have very excessive wear.. yes i do lean harder on the left then the right.. but i wonder is this normal.. maybe chain hitting tire.. i check tire pressure good..
any other suggestions..

below:
this pic is the chain side (left side)

i think its norm...but if you got your chain hitting your tire you got some serious issues bro!!!

i doubt its that tho

 

[kkattan]

NOW.. heres the other side.. the right side.. which i still lean on.. maybe slightly less...

notice huge difference..

anything to worry about?

 

[BusaCruise]

that's the chain hitting.....you have alignment issues.

then again.....MI roads suk!

IMO that's not normal wear. No idea on cause, I don't think it's from being hard on the left side.

tell me about it.. MI second worse roads... anywhoo....

i noticed the chain tensionr bolts.. one was at 3 marks.. other side was 3 and half marks.. is that enough to make it out align.. if not.. what do you advise.. thanks!

 

[SPEEDEMON]

you better check your alignment, but wouldnt you see the chain touching when your arent moving...?

 

[adrenaline junkey]

sure looks like chain rash or something making contact

Sure as HELL isn't normal wear Bro. Something is outta whack or you have some spacing issues... Wider than a 200 rear???

i dont see it rubbing when i turn the tire.. i ll check again when i put the tire back on..

maybe chain is a little loose? so when driving it rubs?

 

[BusaCruise]

there would have to be a good kink in the chain for that much sided to side movement.

it is possible though....if that's the stock chain...dump it.....they're just there for looks anyways.

look at the inside of your chain, inside of your swing-arm, inside of your hugger if your wearing one. Let us know what you see, pics if possible.

Also, did you get anything kicked up between tire & swing-arm area, a can, piece of wood, piece of metal, animal- etc in the past while riding ?

more then enough, get it adjusted....and your chain is too loose....
Man! you can kill yourself riding like that.
Loose chain and misalligned wheel/sprocket.... very high possibility of chain snap...
