October 5, 200718 yr My rear brake lever suddenly started rubbing on the chain. There was left to right movement on the lever so I changed the bearing and the bush/nut. I refitted the lever but it still had play on it and touched the chain. I was wondering if I was missing a shim on the bush? Any suggestions???
October 5, 200718 yr is the chain tensioner bent? or look at the footrest bracket they bend for fun! Edited October 5, 200718 yr by paul w
October 6, 200718 yr This happened to mine the other week, Didn't know I'd done it but had dinged it on a rock - when I thought back I could remember the culprit! Took it off, popped in the vice & warmed it up a bit then carefully bent it out by a couple of mm - there's very little clearance between chain & pedal at best of times so even an almost inperceptible bend (couldn't visibly see any on mine) will cause problems. Hope this helps Ade
October 6, 200718 yr On every one of these i have had i have had this problem and if its just rubbing slightly i leave it. I know you could heat it to straighten it but even at that they are easy snapped.
October 7, 200718 yr Its one of two things with beta the rear brake and the silencer and well the carb. I have a gasser and it rides well but is made like a pram from india. Hope the 08 is ok as i aspect me gasser to last not to long.
