I posted on this Friday night, in the Chain Maintenance Thread, and have seen over 50 views on the thread, but no reply. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.
I cleaned my chain myself for the first time on Friday, as the rear sprocket was making alot of noise. After cleaning and lubing the chain, I take the bike for a spin, and immediately notice the rear sprocket is super quiet. (yay)
However, after about 10-15 minutes, I notice the front sprocket is making alot of noise. The tinny high-pitched chain noise only comes up when I'm using throttle. When I'm coasting, engine breaking, or using the clutch, I don't hear a thing.
I went ahead and cleaned the chain again, and reapplied the chain wax, but still run into the issue of a lot of noise coming from the front sprocket. This entire weekend, the noise remains. I'd like to know if I'm just being hyper-critical of the front sprocket noise, if I'm not doing something quite right, or whatever!
I'm using the Maxima Chain Cleaner and Chain Wax Lubricant.
Any Ideas? I'm certain I used ample amounts of lubricant wax....
