I just replaced both sprockets and chain about 8 months ago. The reason I did it was because the chain had reached it's max and the back sprocket teeth had formed into hook shapes instead of straight. So I replaced everything to start fresh.
Now the chain got loose again so I tightened it, no problem. But I noticed the back sprocket teeth have again formed into hooks???
What causes this?
Is it the loose chain, cheap parts (got it off ebay) or the way I shift???
If it is cheap parts, does anyone have any recommendations for a new sprocket set?
It is a 2001 EX500.
Thanks for any help on this.
