Hi all,
I'm new here and look forward to the great posts being made.
I recently bought a 2013 Tiger XC800 and I have a slight issue that I'm hoping someone could give me guidance on.
In low gear at low speed and power, I get a very loud chain slapping effect. The chain seems to be hitting the arm or its housing. It's actually broken the plastic chain guard right off.
Is this a sign of the chain being loose or something else more serious. ? Only happens in 2nd or 3rd gear at low power - like coming out of corner or traffic circle.
Any help appreciated.
