Hello everyone..once again i would like to draw from the wealth of knowledge available from the people that come here..i recently bought a chain and sprocket set..installed everything and there were no issues..i have done this quite a few times so it wasn't difficult..here is the issue..i was spinning the wheel on the stand and noticed the chain will hop left and right and slightly ride out of the grooves on the plastic slide on top of the swingarm. That was weird looking so i started the bike and just let it idle in gear and watch the chain...as i went through the gears at idle the hop was getting frighteningly violent and loud..is it possible to have a bad chain ? I never had this happen.. I checked wheel alignment and double checked..its seems fine..could a chain be bent left or right ?
