Chain touching bodywork.
2001 Curvy, as the chain moves towards the gear box it passes between the spring and the heel plate, and over the top of what looks like a piece of black rubber/plastic. Washing my bike the other day and i noticed it is practically touching this and has worn into it ever so slightly, when lifting the chain you can see small grooves.
Is this normal? Many thanks. |

Re: Chain touching bodywork.
I think at the tight part of the chain there should be 20 - 30mm of movement whilst the bike is on the side stand.
Check it  I checked mine this weekend after thinking it looked like it had alot of play...but it was fine  only 21mm

"practically touching this and has worn into it ever so slightly"
This is my main concern. |
