Hi.. new to the forum and to bikes in general. I am doing some minor things to the xs400 special II i got, and while cleaning the chain to later lubricate it, I was checking the tension. half of the lower chain is about 3/4 (good) slack, but when I rotated the back tire, the other lower half of chain is fairly tight, maybe around 1/4 slack. I did notice when I rode the it, there is some back and forth pull when I coast without throttle... Now, I wonder if it's due to the uneven chain tension...
Is this amount, or any amount, of chain unevenness in tension, normal? I'd hate to have to change the chain (no clue how), etc...
Thanks
Steve
