Hey guys
can my chain being too tight cause the bike to run hot?
It was cool here tonight, 16 celsius, and my bike was running at 106 degrees when I turned it off after a 10km ride and with the fan running for 30 seconds it went up to 109 before the fan kicked out. I just got bike back today from getting a new back tire. I put my foot under the chain and gave it a lift and I personally never tighten my chain as much as it was, and I was thinking to myself that it was pretty tight.
So can these 2 be related?
This is yet one more reasone why I hate dealerships!
