If the chain is stretched, it'll skip, and wear down the teeth on the sprocket. It's best that you get a new chain before you have to replace both sprockets too. This may not be the problem, of course.

Tighting the bolt very tight is OK but over doing it can collaspe the spacers. It's more likly that if loosing the bolt corrects the problem it's been put to gether wrong. Look at the bike bandit .com for your bikes rear wheel and see if yours has all the right parts in the right order. Maybe the rear brakes are worn out or something in the brake came loose. The chain and sprocket can make alot of niose. Axel not the same on both sides. chain dry or too loose or too tight. Chain gaurd touching chain or the tire. With the wheel jacked up turn it and work the brake to see if the noise changes. The wheel should turn very easy cheak breakes and chain for probelems wheel bears do fail but mileage needs to be high or wet.

Probably a worn chain will cause that. Check your chain and sprockets.

I have a ticking noise coming from the engine of my 03 kawasaki zx6r 636 and its very loud what can i do to fix this

Sounds like it's time for a valve adjustment.
clearances are:
exhaust .22 - .31
intake .11 - .19
Checking clearance should be very simple but adjusting requires cam and lifter removal and different size shims underneath.

Good luck, i hope this helps.

I need the specifications on a 1996 Kawasaki Ninja Zx6R Rear Wheel Chain. I need to buy a new one and don't know what size/specifications I need.

You need the pitch, roller width, roller thickness (All in all just the chain type) OEM is a 525, 108 link chain with a 15 tooth front sprocket and 40 tooth rear.
It is best to change sprockets and chain together. A stretched/worn chain will damage the sprockets which in turn will lead to premature wear on a new chain.
Best way to identify pitch(and chain type) is to measure the sprocket width(thickness).
  • 0.227" (5.76mm) - 520 chain
  • 0.284" (7.21mm) - 525 chain
  • 0.343" (8.71mm) - 530 chain
Technically speaking they all have the same pitch (5/8") as you can see they are of different widths. Please note that a 420 and 425 have the same widths as 520 and 525 but their pitch is different(0.5")
Further you will have to decide between stock, O-ring and X-ring. X-ring being the most expensive(and supposedly longest lasting) but in my experience lasts the same as an o-ring chain.
