I am concerned with the incident where the person posted that the chain caused some sidewall damage. Is that a real possibility using these chains?

I don't remember having sidewall damage to our tires but there were some nicks to the tread, nothing that I would consider unusual when one factors in the extreme conditions and environments these chains are used in. One must remember that tires aren't made to be driven on chains for extended periods. Is it possible...I would say yes. But I think that would apply to any chains??. For what its worth...

Yes, they will deny your claim. I almost went to small claim court but I decided not waste my time. It cost me over 1000 bucks. It will not only damage wheels but torn apart covering around the wheels under body.

Any exterior chain products has the potential to have some tire/rim damaged if not used to manufactures instructions. Fitment and suggested speed is critical for not causing damage. I suggest making sure that none of the chain or cable components are not touching the rim and that the cross members that run across the tire face does not fall between the treads. If this happens it is called tread lock and tire damage is possible. Please read the instruction, note our waiver of claim if not used and or installed properly.

The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things. First the chain may have just come of the front or rear sprocket. Just push down on chain tensioner and put chain back on. Secound sounds like the Freewheel mechanism (racketing system) may have broken. This has not happened to me (yet) but I hear it is a common problem especially with older MX (2-3yrs old or older models). The rear sproket will turn but back wheel will not turn with it. Only way to fix is to buy complete rear wheel assembly (only way it comes) but does come with new wheel, tire, tube, sproket, completely ready to go. "Razorama.com" sells them on line for $45.00 + shipping. Hope this helps. Gary.. The chain saw should not of affected the assembly. Problem is one of two things.

yes i had this problem, but instead of worrying about hte potentially permanent damage it could have caused, i got it installed on the wall for real cheap. By Tr-State Installs.http://www.tristateinstalls.com/index.htm

Hey Bill, I need to look at the info sheet that came with it to give you the answer. I used mine today. The chain doesnt have rakers and it jumps around.

I sure hope not! I've been using it for 6 or 8 months and I haven't seen any evidence of damage. the rim contact is rubber and the tension is adjustable. Hope this helps.

There is some vibration, maybe not as bad as standard chains. If there is a little build up on the road it will help to quiet the noise and reduce some of the vibration.Side note: try not to drive over 30mph, at 35mph I drove for several mile then I saw the driver side chain rolling away from me... not good. So make sure the lug tension is snug and no faster than 30mph. You'll love how quick and easy these go on and come off.

Yes. I don't see that that would be and issue, ass long as your chain stays on both sides of the bike are even with one another. Meaning both come off the back at the same parallel angle as each other

There is a ribbed track on the sidewall. I can't say I've used a generator though since they cause additional drag on the bike but, it's ribbed so, the application of a generator seems possible.

Never a silly question:) The inside straps with hooks actually got caught in my chain & snapped off & I had to fix the chain. I would make sure they are very securely hooked onto something or cut them off altogether. The other hook on the other side got caught in my wheel & snapped off!

Eventually the chains break. It happens. Just go to the hardware store and buy extra. Problem solved.

Hello. I also received the chain. It seems to work just fine. If the chain makes contact with another object that's conductive, it does tend to discharge to the object. However, I assume that would happen with the cable too unless the cable was coated.

I would contact the company. Hopefully they will replace the chain at no cost to you.

I have not had this happen. The clip is a metal clip and I can see if it was not firmly attached by the consumer the potential for this type of mishap is possible. Once the system is engaged properly I don't think it is about to come undone.

Longer chain to attach under the cover to the bike would be the only way . Otherwise you would harm the cover.

Heck yes, the chains get shot all the time! They do not "hold up" at all, bullets, specially rifle bullets go right through chain links and sometimes destroy the chains. However; you can go to any hardware store and get a new 1' chain for about $3. In fact, I would recommend going to a hardware store ahead of time and getting a few 1' lengths of chains and some S hooks. You will need them!

I'm not positive about this, but I don't think so. Think of it as a solid sheet of heavy, stiff mudflap material cut into strips about 4" wide with no spaces in between. Properly installed it is only 4 inches off the road. I think on a chain it would float and flap and "plane" way way too much.

I am unsure about that. I would contact manufacturer and ask them to be on safe side.
