Just took my 74' CB 450 K7 out for it's 1st maiden voyage since I purchased it. Ran good but as I rode it further ( several miles ), I could here what appear to be a clanking sound progressively getting louder as I rode faster ? Pulled over and looked for the obvious but didn't see anything so continued riding but shortly heard the same sound again ? So again I pulled over and checked to see if anything was loose and the only thing that stood out was that the chain loosened up considerably.
So this is what I'm concluding is that the chain which appears to be original ( 9500 miles ) is not holding it's proper adjustment and loosened up quickly ? It needs a chain anyway, so what do you Forum members recommend for stock set-up ? The sprockets appear to be good and not excessively worn.
