Thanks all. To clarify, the chain slack is 3 inches after 400 miles or so. The chain slack was tight to begin with, less than .5 of an inch. This might be causing the issues as stated above or an inferior chain itself. I have been using the Honda pro chain lube all along. Apart from seeing...

Oh boy! :( Do you think this could have been caused by the tight 1" chain tension? I lube the chain once every 1000 miles or sooner if I see the chain requiring it. I purchased the bike with 2500 miles in Jan 2016. The bike probably sat for a long while between rides. I now have 8500 miles on...

The chain slack was set at 1". I reset it to 2". The bolt was tight. Pics included.

Apologies for hijacking some of this thread. Yes the grit was red. Damn yall are good! :rockon:

Since you discussing chains... I noticed a fine grit after replacing tires and adjusting chain tension on my 07 FZ6 (this weekend too). We were wondering what it could be. First thoughts were to check tire rub, nope. Could not figure it out. Obviously something was been ground down to produce...

My insurance, since I only have 3rd party or liability does not offer road side assistance. I'm normally out 100+ mile radius from home. Suggestions welcome. Thanks
