Best to try and change your whole drivetrain together if you can. I'm holding out for my driver to shit the bed before I fit one.
G:
As mentioned already, drivetrains wear together, if it is well worn, then replacing any one part can cause problems. This has always been true of all bikes, but it is particularly bad with half link chains because they really do stretch as well as wear (normal "chain stretch" is actually wear, but half link chain stretch can be both). Any good bike shop should have a chain "stretch" measuring tool for you to check your old/current chain.
Typically any half link chain will come up as needing replacement if you check it with this tool after just a few weeks of riding, that's how bad it is.

So, you're saying... User error?
stevefromtexas:
I just got the chain yesterday so haven't rode it yet just rode it out front of my house for a min or to and makes this crazy noise. When I got my shadow chain in May did not make any noise and the speoket and driver where older just don't understand why it is doing that.
skateparkrider:
I heard another dude just had some issues with his actually JRA-ing. His broke at the half link. And it isn't his first rodeo working on bikes.
Sucks your having problems. Hopefully you can figure out how to get it sorted.
