  • Noise from Chain in R15

    I recently got my 1st service done and after a day of service I am having some sound from the bike, it seemed to be coming from the chain so I went back to service center and I showed it to the guy who serviced my bike. He said it is fine, nothing to worry about. (He lubricated it in front of me while doing service) is there any way to get rid of this sound? or is it normal?
    Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      Open chains do make a little or some more sort of noise. They cannot be neglected completely. Just lube them and ride.

        @Dadu: You approved a new thread for this!

        @HotAntivirus: If you have gone through the ownership thread, this is the most common problem all new R15s have. Don't worry, it will get sorted out with time.
        For the moment, just lube it, keep the slack around 25-35mm.&ride on!
