Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Are you facing any sound from chain if the teeths or chain has past there life chain will make a grinding kind of noise, plus visually inspect both the front and rear sproket teeth, if the sides of the teeths are worn they wont mesh with the chain properly and hence chain will have horizontal slack, SS125 has an open chain or oring -- chain and every open chain get past there life very quickly, one of my friend has reverted to close chain on his SS125 because of this frequent chain eating although he has to get chain cover holding mount welded on the swing arm on his bike.

Hi Gladiator owners, I've a small doubt.
I have a SS125(Nov-2012) which has clocked 16K km.s till date. Bike is running fine and smooth. But, on the last two servicings, I was told by the SVC mechanics that the change sprocket needs to be changed. I sought opinions from friends who own Gladiators. As per them, 16K is too early to change the sprockets. BTW I had made it it a point to clean+lube the chain on each servicing, I myself lube the chains twice a month. Thing is I trust my friends and at the same time can't ignore the viewpoint of the SVC(Factory Outlet, Kestopur, Kolkata) mechanics who are very helpful and has never made me get burdened with unnecessary charges/changes.
Please help me with a solution as I am in a dilemma.
