Help! I think I bought a turd!

Wait, you have an RC51 and just bought a 750 as a track bike?

MARRY ME!

It does sound like your chain tension may be a little too tight, on decel the weight shift forward would stretch the chain more, which is why you wouldn't hear it on acceleration. As for the bike not clicking into gear, that's actualy not uncommon, the shift dogs are slightly overbuilt to withstand wear better, and sometimes they will aling and prevent the bike from clicking into gear, all it takes is slipping the clutch very slightly to get them to mesh. I would be much more concerned about the transmission if it jumps out of gear. I hope this helps, now about that marriage proposal....

My first guess would be a broken clutch spring. But if it was mine, I would put it up on wheel stands and listen to where the noise is coming from. If the noise is from the clutch area, it could be several things, and you would have to take the clutch apart.

I am not signing shit.......hahaha. Not the chain or the tensioner. I am afraid it is something internal either tranny or somewhere along those lines. But god forbid I have to split the cases on a bike I have not even had a month yet.....So pissed right now.

Thanks for all the help. Screw it. I am taking it to the track this weekend. Maybe I just end up blowing up the damn thing and that will give me an excuse to drop a whole new motor in it that I know has not been abused by anyone but me....hahaha.

That's awesome! Good luck with it! If it does blow up and you need a hand doing a motor swap let me know.

I wish I had that much money to just blow on a bike, then say hell with it if it's not running right and go out and try to blow up the motor just so I can spend money on putting a new one in.
