That is the absolutely classic symptom of a worn out chain... the good news is Z1 has the best prices on good X-ring chain.I recently put new tires on an 82 KZ750 LTD that we are trying to revive. When trying to adjust the chain tension we noticed that the chain will go from slack to tight as we roll the rear wheel. Is this something to worry about? If so, what are likely culprits (bent sprocket shaft, warped sprocket, etc.)?
