My bike has 5400 miles, I am the 2nd ower,
I have been dealing with a small issue and want to get your opinion on what might be causing it.
I feel what can only be described as "lose chain syndrome". I can feel vibration/knocking on my left footpeg, initially I thought it was lose chain hitting the bottom of my swing arm. I checked and the chain WAS lose, so I tightened it, but the vibration , for the most part, remains. So now that I have eliminated the lose chain issue, what else could it be?
My next guess is worn cush-drive. Is it possible that cush-drives are already worn at 5400 miles? (The previous owner decided to do a nice burn out before handing the bike to me, evident from tire wear which was not present on "for sale" pictures)
Thank you for your input
