What are some symptoms of worn or damaged carrier bearings?
Can the carrier itself possibly be damaged?
I was at the track the other day and I heard a clicking noise, and kind of a soft jerky/ uneven feeling from the rear. I look down and oil was spilling all over. I took a closer look and my chain had become so loose that it busted a hole in my side cover. Unfortunately I didn't have a case saver on.
It's a brand new D.I.D racing chain with about 3 rides on it so it's in good shape and was nice and snug.
As I was looking at the chain, I noticed that the piece all the way to the left of the carrier (chain tightener) had shifted up.
What can cause this?
I'm getting the engine fixed, but that's not what I'm worried about.
I'm curious as to how the carrier shifted ( how did this happen? ) To cause my chain to become extremely loose.
Will a chain guide help the chain from slapping around?
Where can I get one?, I've never seen them for a 400ex, only for banshees and stuff.
