Teething problems

#1 PostAuthor: Pinhead » Tue Mar 10, 2015 6:11 pm

Been out on the z900
Sounds like the chain is rubbing
And put the lights on I think it's a higher voltage
After about 5 mins the fuse poped do I put a lower voltage bulb in

Just had a look at the fuse
Looks like I put the wrong fuse in should have been the 20amp
I put the 10amp in
The eyes are not as good these day
Building up to having lens replacement
The chain is a 530 I think it was rubbing on one side of the chain guard so I tied it over
Have to have a look under the cover

Just had the chain guard off and the clutch cover off
I can't see anything wrong
Chain looks like it's in line with the front sprocket
Refitted all the parts back on turning the wheel over by hand
It's not rubbing now i will take it out tomorrow to see if all is working
Could be that I fitted the chain guard wrong
