Actually there were no wheelies involved but the odd thing is the adjustment factor.  When I put the new chain on I needed to use up half of the adjustment to get it tight.  The old chain was at the end of the adjustment is why it got replaced.  It was the factory chain so it wasn't probably the best chain plus it had rusted some.    It appeared that if I could have found a chain that was 107 1/2 links it would have worked much better..
