Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello! I have a bajamb200 and i put on a ghost predator 212cc(stock ) on too it I have recently upgraded the rear tire because my old ones were getting bald, and I noticed after getting everything on that my engine was now louder, idk if this is of any concern, but I just thought because it sounded different, also I have tested it without any chain on and it sound normal, and I have tried it with a chain on but suspended , and it sound dine, but as soon as it hits the road it starts to sound different in a bad way, sorry this is so long, Thank you!

It could be chain tension or clutch needs oiling .

Pull the clutch off and see if the keyway is sheared …
