After I cleaned my chain today..I was wiping it off..and spinning the wheel..the chain gets tighter in some places then others?...odd?...so as I spin the chain gets tight then lose...???
It is likely that the chain is getting bad. They will start to kink up when they need replacing. Try lubing it real well and see if it gets better or stops it all together. If not, its time for a new one. How many miles do you have on the bike approximately?
as the fellas ^^ mention its completely normal as the miles add up however depending on how bad the high & low spots are will usually dictate its replacement.
yea if thats the mileage on the chain/sprockets too then more than likely its complete replacement time.

And just for what its worth. I have an RK chain that has been great. My sprockets are sprocket specialists. Nothing too major with them. They are plain but have worn really well.
18k on the bike...and I am going to order the chain & sprocket kit..-1 +1
A good winter project. Just figure ($$$) in a Speedohealer to correct for the new gearing. We just did a set of Vortex and Regina 520. Runs great, but it really puts a pucker factor into wide open throttle in 1-3 gears trying to keep the front end down.

you talking about a 520 with a -1 +1 on a 07?....I would think it would be "pucker factor" since it's not geared as tall in the first place from Paul's 04 10R. That combo is perfect for me(04 10R) when the bike is lowered I bet it's a handful in stock condition 1-3 gears on your bike.
