I just had my problem in 1st, 2nd and 3rd or maybe 4th gear. I got home and the chain is loose as all fuck, like a dirt bike! I didn't have the problem at all yesterday and it was way too recently I set the chain tension. No way I can be affording sprockets but I have an account at the local Honda shop and I have an extra rear (though the rear looks OK), and I have my 17 on there (probably chewed up) and I still have both the old 16 toothers but still serviceable.
Not sure what the hell could be causing this, it was the donor bike chain and it wasn't in bad shape, plus it got a nice coating of bearing grease when I put it on.
Gonna get that cover off in a little while, but I think my XS400K woes may be a lot less serious than I thought. Maybe just a chain will be all she needs.
