[QUOTE="alscomet, post: 27422, member: 260"] Problem with a comet and I am not sure what it is yet. Take the bike off the centre stand and it wheels back and forth with no problem,lean the bike over to the brake pedal side and it jams up as if the chain is trying to mount the rear sprocket, lean it to the gear lever side and it wheels fine. Tightened up the chain so there is no free play at all and the bike will not wheel when leant over to the brake pedal side. The chain has done 1200 miles and both sprockets are in good order. Pull the clutch in and the bike will wheel when leant over to the brake pedal side.Is it a primary chain problem or a rear chain problem I can't seem to get to the bottom of what is the problem !!! help please [/QUOTE]
