Chain keeps coming off

[Nahom]

I forgot I left the bike outside in the rain for weeks and weeks while I've disappeared from this site- would that have washed away all the chain lubricant?

a good, foaming, chain lube never hurts

Yeeha! Put some WD40 motorcycle oil on the chain. Tighetened the tensioner and off to the races with no chain issues

just fyi, wd40 works in a pinch, i guess, but it is really a poor lubricant, it is mostly kerosene. I like the dupont teflon multi-use lube (comes in a blue can) on my motorcycles, works well on pretty much everything, and is pretty clean/fling free. Good to hear you are up and running.
