Africa Twin Chain Problem In Syria!!!!

[Tybalt]

Hey!

Im down in Southern Syria and just started to hear a real nasty metal sound as Im driving at slow speeds. The sound is like what I would imagine would happen if weren’t hitting the teeth correctly every once and a while and then falling in- but I don’t see that while itson the center stand. Maybe its there at high speeds but I cant tell. Its not even or rotational (like would be the case if one link of my chain were malfunctioning) but rather fairly sporatic.
It happens almost exclusively when there is weight on it (Ive only gotten to hear it once or twice with the bike on the center stand.)
I have thoroughly cleaned the chain and sprockets and they don’t seem to be the problem… but its in this area.
I recently had my back tire changed and think that perhaps the mechanic didn’t quite get everything back together correctly.

One thing I was thinking it may be was the chain adjustment. Its stupid of me but I don’t quite understand how they work. I have attached pictures of them but it seems that one of the adjusters quite touching and the other is on the teeth. Should the numbers coinside? The left side of the bike is on 12 and the right side is around 22 – but as you can see they are flipped.

Any ideas? Im pretty despirate as well…Im in Syria and there are defiantly no Honda mechanics around haha. Oh adventure riding J

Thanks!
