cb400f final drive
« on: January 19, 2011, 01:18:41 PM »
I pinched my chain in between the rear swing arm and the motor during engine installation. The chain now has a slight kink in it. Should I replace the chain?

Thank you.
This forum is always a great help for me.

Yes.  It will create a vibration and wear out your sprockets quickly.  It could also damage your output shaft.  There is a chance that it is weakened to the point that it will fail, which is not something you'd enjoy.
