Need help with F2

My F2 when I clutch a wheelie up, I'll drop the clutch, then about half a second later the chain snaps and pulls the wheelie up, and the chain continues to slap every half second until I set it down.

The chain is tight so it's not the chain what the hell is wrong with it.

Re: Need help with F2

chain has a tight spot or there are teeth missing off of the sprocket.

Re: Need help with F2

sprocket has all the teeth. It was happening yesterday in the day time, then stopped at night, which leads me to believe that it's only happening when the bike is hot. There's 10w40 motorcycle oil in my bike maybe it's getting too hot and the clutch is slipping?

Re: Need help with F2

Front sprocket is good, both look brand new. The chain is rusty, I dunno what the problem is I'll clean it with WD40 and lube it and see if that helps.

It's doing it at high RPMS now too not just in a wheelie.

Re: Need help with F2

All gears at high rpm, I did notice the chain is kinked in some areas but I doubt that's the problem.

Re: Need help with F2

Ok, the first video you can't really hear it slapping, but it does it 3 times at the top of first gear, and twice at the top of 2nd. The bike does this at any speed if I clutch a wheelie.

Second video is of the chain as I accelerate in 1st gear.

Re: Need help with F2

From the looks of it your chain is pretty loose...
