Hello friends,

I bought my Ninja 300 a couple of months ago and have been having issues with the chain right from day one. In the first couple of weeks of riding the chain used to make a horrible grinding noise which kinda quietened over time (maybe the chain settles down after a while?). I feel there is something wrong with the chain as it is very tight in certain spots and loose in others. I also feel that downshifting is a a bit rough (maybe because of the chain? or maybe i'm not shifting porperly!). I took a video of the chain on my bike and it would be great if somebody could have a look and tell me if this is normal or not. Thanks for the support guys!
