Think i need a new chain and sprocket, its rattling like mad.    It seems to be loose with a tight spot.  It's been adjusted and the wheel realinged but its sounded awful coming back from Squires last night.

Ah right, Geoff has said if you want to call at his on the way to Squires he'll have a look at it for you with the view to adjusting it but if that's been done I guess that's all he can do as a short term fix.   Hope you don't need a new chain and sprocket set though.

Well tony adjusted it for me when i got back from the farmyard, and he had a little ride on it, it seemed ok,  but last night it jus sounded so rattly, especially going round bends and slowing down.   I don't know what to do, I don't even know if I can get a set to fit?!   had trouble getting a brake lever!  lol   Well if you're going to Squires tonight, will probably see you there.

the chain is stretched kaz, if when adjusted it goes loose then tight, its ok to ride , but not for long as it could knacker the final drive bearing and wheel bearing

Kaz - try one for a GN125 - it should be the same I would have thought

Any good bike shop that isnt tied to a dealer should be able to help you, I would recommend a bike shop I know, but they dont do mail order!

Kaz, ring up B&C Express.  I've always found them to be the best when it comes to chain and sprocket kits.  Just had a look at their website and they too don't list a Zhonghu, but I'd put money on them knowing what you need and offering you a good price. As a comparison, they list a kit for the GN for £32.   Either that or ring Sprint Motorcycles in Wakefield.  They specialise in secondhand parts for bikes.

Thanks FG and Geoff   Geoff, I've phoned a Chinese dealers in Surrey and spoke to a nice fella who suggested it could be the chain rattling against the chain guard, suggesting the guard may be bent in some way?   I am going to ride it to Squires tonight, so if you have your virgin (almost) honda toolkit handy then maybe you could have a quick look for me?  I have got tomrrow off work, so if it still looks like i may need a new chain and/or sprocket I can look for one tomorrow.   Thanks
