Noise from the chain

01-15-2009, 11:08 PM

Hi all,
Since yesterday I have noticed a whirrr..from my chain. I also feel it on the footrests while riding above 40.
Today while I was backing the bike to park it, it was a unmistakable tak tak tak at slow speeds if I rotate the wheel.

The chain feels a bit taut, I had it greased a couple of days back when the bike was washed. This is a Avenger180

Any idea what has caused it...is there any way to fix it myself or should I take it to a mech?

How do we loosen/tighten the chain?

Thanks,
Beo
