You need a new chain, a worn chain will not match up properly with a new gear/cog. You can do this yourself, the chain should have a link that will come apart.

SOURCE: Yamaha ttr 125 clicking sound in second gear

Yes, change second gear and the gear it meshes up with. This is the voice of experience talking. Whatever caused the tooth to break applied the same pressure on the mating gear. That made the meshing gear weak such that as soon as pressure is on it again, it will break a tooth or two right away. See diagram below showing pinion gears, wheel gears and slider gears.

The ENTIRE engine tears down, top end, clutch, shifter, kick starter, flywheel and electrics, forks and drum, crankshaft etc. Needed tools are a flywheel puller, case splitter, torque wrench, impact driver and circlip pliers. This is not a beginners project. You can get a factory service manual and give it a try but I don't recommend it. The service manual may or may not have a power transmission diagram. I don't have a diagram for this engine.

SOURCE: 2008 Z750 bad grinding noise in first gear

It is possible that the first gear shift fork in the transmission is bent causing the 'dog-clutch' between two gears to just barely mesh. With engine off, push the shift into first and clutch lever released. Rock the bike back and forth to see if the gearing seems to be jumping in and out. There may be a problem with the shift lever shaft mechanism not allowing a complete shift into first gear. Hope this helps!

How loose can the valve timing chains be and still run?
There is a tensioner and being loose is not as bad as wear, you might notice some backfire noise when the wear gets excessive.

On my Honda 200x 1984 timing jumps one tooth after setting kicked first time ride jumped out.65.50 wisco big bore kit.12 tooth drive socket. Set tenchner til chain sound stops?,
2 questions come to mind has the new sprocket got the same pitch ( distance between teeth ) as the crank shaft sprocket as this will make the chain jump out after a few degrees of movement. A quick check is to wrap the chain around the sprocket and see if there are links that do not sit fully around the teeth. There are different pitches for teeth and chains ( BA-- AM and metric)

The chain on my black diamond always makes a grinding and clicking sound any to resolve this problem?
check very closely for worn teeth on the sprockets as the clicking sound can be generated by the pitch of the chain not matching the pitch of the sprockets teeth. check for worn out chain. Do that by taking the chain off an while holding on it's side see how much the chain bows over say 1 foot it should be less than 1/4 inch. any more then the pins in the chain are worn out.

My timing chain sounds loose. can it be adjusted or should it be replaced? 2003 nissan altima 2.0
If it is running loose for a long time and is worn then should be replaced as soon as
But if the tensioner has come loose which it shouldn't have then an inspection of the links will further tell you if it should be replaced.There are ways to inspect the timing chain.This is a rough guide.

Timing Chain and Sprockets Cleaning and Inspection
  1. Clean the components with cleaning solvent.
    Caution Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.
  2. Dry the components with compressed air.

  3. Inspect the timing chain for binding or wear.
    tiftogif(1).gif

  4. Inspect the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets for:
    • Worn teeth (1)
    • Damaged teeth (2)
    • Chipped teeth (3)
    • Worn valleys between the sprocket teeth

    tiftogif(2).gif

  5. Inspect the crankshaft sprocket keyway for wear.
  6. Inspect the crankshaft sprocket oil pump drive splines for wear.

  7. Inspect the chain guide (232) for the following conditions:
    • Loose metal inserts (1)
    • Cracking (2) in the chain contact area
    • Excessive grooves (3) in the chain contact area Grooves 1 mm (0.040 in) or less in depth are to be considered normal wear.

Hi there I own a Yamaha 1000 thunderace 1998.When I pull away there is a chain sound that desturbs the clean sound the enjin makes when driving.The bike does not miss fire and changes gears smoothly.when...
By chain sound do you mean a metalic rattle when you ride off?
I will assume that is not making that sound at idle. It could be that your cam chain has stretched and needs to either be replaced or tensioned.

If it is a pinking sound, sort of like someone tapping on a tin can with a coin. Then that is most likely preignition which isn't good for your engine. Why octane/RON fuel do you use?

Crackling sound in the chains while driving and something sound like a tambourine somewhere in the rear brake.tnx
It sounds like the bike needs a new chain and probably new front and rear sprockets as well. The sprocket teeth should have a rounded blunt end. Do the replacement of chain and sprockets and then see if the tambourine has gone away. If not, I would dissasemble the rear wheel and brake for inspection. Loose or broken parts, wheel bearings gone bad or brake assembly problems may be present. Please rate my answer. tombones49_195.gif

I have a derbi senda sm125 and when moving if i go above 5000rpm it starts jolting from the back wheel??? Any ideas what it could be?
Sounds like your chain is stretched and not fitting the sprocket properly or is just too loose. Check your front and rear chain sprockets for wear and ensure the teeth are straight. Check to insure the chain fits snuggly on the rear sprocket. As a chain stretches over its life, it won't fit in all of the teeth on the rear sprocket. This will cause the chain to ride up on the teeth at higher RPMs and jump (causing the feeling of a jolt or **** as it grabs again). Typically, the chain should have no more than an inch or so of play when properly adjusted.

I am having problems with the chain coming off the guide rail of a Husqvarna 345. A new rail and chain was put on the saw recently. When the chain came off last time I noticed a lot of wear on the teeth...
It is possible that the clutch sprocket teeth are badly worn causing extra wear on the drive teeth of the chain. Remove the bar and chain to check the sprocket--you can determine the wear by comparing the area where the chain runs to the edges of the sprocket that are relatively unworn. If the sprocket requires replacement, the chain should be replaced as well. The chain normally should be loose enough that the chain can be moved by hand, but it should not droop from the lower bar edge. Check the chain oiling by running the bar tip at speed near some cardboard--it should throw off a thin line of oil after a moment or two. There should be an oil volume adjustment screw located on the under side of the case near the chain return area--turn CCW to increase flow. Hope this helps!

Chain Slipping
Your chain would have to be incredibly loose to slip the sprocket. Enough that it would come off the bar before jumping the teeth on the rear sprocket. Highly unlikely.
