Noob problems? throttle issues and chain ticking.
So first off, i believe the drive chain has a binded link, because it ticks and lurches while i ride. So my question is this, is it damaging to ride it like this? And how much work does it involve to replace the chain? and what size is it? Second problem is that at approx 6k rpm it starts to cutout sometimes like its running out of gas. At idle and WOT its fine though. Anyone ever heard of a prob like this? Thanks!

How many miles on the chain & sprockets?
Have you tried cleaning & lube the chain? Running issue sounds like a carb sync or cleaning problem. Have you tried fresh fuel mixed with SeaFoam? |

the seafoam I was going to try today, and there is approx 16k on the chain and sprockets. and I have cleaned and lubed. It made it quieter for a little bit, then it came back.
