My chain was already worn so I replaced it with a medium-priced option, which worked great. As I recall (it's been 10 years now), it had a few more links, which I don't think was necessary since the new chain never stretched in the remaining years I had the bike. Cheers.

That's not supposed to happen. Good luck.

svaz2006 turns out I striped the bolts lol but I got new ones and now everything works

I'm not near the bike right now, so I only have the video for reference. By the star-shaped connection do you mean the part just foreward of the spring @ 1:04? If so, after loosening the screw it slid right off. WD40, maybe?

svaz2006 ill try wd40. seemed like it was catching on something. watching the vid on my phone at 1:04,1:05 its at tge very bottom and somewhat u shaped.just under the bottom of the center plastic cover pretty much below the pause /play button. its the back end of the shifter and looks to b dangling downwards at time frames id'd.

svaz2006 at the time discussed at the location referred to, its got a bolt that acts as a clamp. I've taken that bolt completely out but as I slide the very back of the shifter (U shaped) at the connection to tranny, it comes halfway off then gets stuck... ill WD it tomorrow n see if that helps. jic ill try and take a still shot of the video abd circle the part im having trouble with. or just video myself getting stuck at the same place. either way that'll give everyone more info as to my problem. prob ain't looking passed my nose to see the solution. im. sure its simple and im making it an issue when it shouldn't b. TY for your time and help!

Cathy Koschik I suspect they adjusted your brake and shifter so their technician could test drive the bike after install. You will have to bring it back to them so they can readjust the brake and shifter back to your desired position. Not sure what you mean by sounded different. New sprockets and/chain may make it a bit quieter. Also did you replace the sprockets with the same size or did you do what this guy did. If you went to different sized sprockets than the engine will rev lower and thus sound different (smoother and quieter)

Adam N I think the sprocket was the same size as the original. It has a higher pitched sound than before that is not from the engine. In fact, I never noticed a non- engine sound at all before. This is definitely something new. I'm taking it back this weekend, hoping they treat me with respect and don't take advantage since I'm a novice and a female. You have no idea how frustrating it can be.

Cathy Koschik it's quite possible it could be from an improperly adjusted chain or improperly lubed chain. It could even simply be a poor quality chain or even poor quality sprockets. Would interested to hear what they tell u.

I know I'm two years too late, but for everyone else: 55 newton meters back, 10 newton meters front.

Sorry - the lift is presently burried under a ton of stuff, but IIRC, it is a no-name generic my wife picked up for me at a garage sale. The lift is too wide to fit under the bike frame and it doesn't adjust either. Usually, I use some wood scraps (sometimes a plywood sheet, sometimes 2x4) to make it work. I use a rachet strap to secure it, though that is sometime haphazard as well.

A "slip in the rear sprocket" isn't terribly descriptive, but it definitely does not sound good! Depending on what you mean, you might have some damage to the sprocket itself (maybe the bolt holes have stretched oblong), or you might need to tighten the axle nut, or (on the other side) your brake torque rod is loose. I would reference pg. 7-36 in your owner's manual for adjustment specs. Be sure to get that fixed before you ride it again. Keep the shiny side up!

I never did change to 43T - dropping to 4th until I get to the desired speed then shifting back has been good enough. Likewise, I do not know if the stock chain will fit, but the 112 I used was about mid-way in the adjustment range and hasn't had to changed since I first put it on!
