I've got an interesting problem with a Kawasaki CSR 750 (1982)...
Seems that there is a resonant point along the power curve at about
3900 rpm and only 5th gear, where the chain starts displaying severe
vibration horizontally *and* vertically... net result is that the chain
loosens prematurely, and if it gets loose enough, it hits the tire (mainly
because the tire- chain clearance is only a quarter inch or so...

Of course, Kawasaki is stumped... even there regional rep doesn't know what
to do about this one. The problem is generic - at least four other CRS's
have the same problem...

All suggestions *very gratefully* appreciated.....
