whats the matter? im using this chain for 40000km but it looks ok to me.

when my chain is getting old and/or a bit loose i get the same noise! it's a matter of changing your chain. when your accelerating the chain is stretching on the top side and then sagging more on the bottom side. the extra slack is rubbing just after the chain leaves the front sprocket. you only notice it in 1st and 2nd gear's because this is when the chain is under the most stress.
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
yes both snail adjusters should read the same! = back wheel straight with chain and sprocket's in line. with bike off stand get someone to sit on the bike and then adjust the both sides equally leaving the chain with a little play 2cm ish. this is basic stuff which the tyre fitter should have done for you!
