Not sure of the reason, simply states that it's been done.

Mileage is 38k

There are a couple of bikes that park in our carpark regularly and they have their chains adjusted so tight that they're like solid bars on the top & bottom runs, makes me wince to see them. I'm surprised more bikes don't have output shaft / sprocket problems

Yeah it's always a bit of a cringe moment when I see that myself, all it's gonna take is to hit a bump a bit too hard, the swingarm to do it's thing and that chain, the sprockets, and possibly your leg are toast, and even that's only if the bike doesn't buck you off like a horse.

There's a reason the user manual/manufacturer's guide gives you the correct range of motion to aim for - and it's not just "because we say so" T_T

Just an update to those that offered some suggestions - one of the clutch plates had broken and the friction material on the others was, well, non-existent.

Clutch fully replaced alongside transmission bearings - she runs like a new bike now!

Thanks all!
