Well, you might be running the wrong kind of chain, or your shifter isn't adjusted properly. www.parktool.com and www.sheldonbrown.com are two excellent sites that can help you figure out what's wrong.

What happens when you dont keep the chain or gears on your bike greased and why does that happen?
if you don't keep your chain and gears on your bike greased it will rust and come off.
How much gears are in the chain of a BMX stunt bike?
A chain is a chain, it hasn't got any gears in it. But if you run it across a pair of sprockets you can create a gearing ratio.
Do the gears of a bicycle mesh together?
Don't really know what you're tinking of with "mesh together"... On a bike with external gears the gears will not mesh. There's the chain acting as a go-between to transfer the energy. On an internally geared bike you will have cogwheels that are interlocking and driving each other.
How do you fix jammed gears on a dirt bike?
jammed...more specefic there bud will it not shift maybe your shift shaft or shift forks are bent. my best bet would be is split the cases or take it to a shop...how long have u had the bike for or how many miles it may be due for a bottom end anyway
What transport has forks and gears and chain?
A bike has all of those, both motorbikes and push bikes :) x
How do you fix a jumping bike chain?
Depends on why it's jumping. It might jump because chain and sprockets are too worn, it might jump because chain tension is too low, or if its a bike with external gears it might jump because the gears aren't adjusted properly. Have a look at www.parktool.com, www.sheldonbrown.com or www.biketutor.com and read more.
When you change your bike gears the chain does something?
Vague question, isn't clear if this is about a problem, or if this is about how a chain works. Basically what the chain does is to transfer force from the pedals to the rear(drive) wheel, thereby making the bicycle move. If you have external gears, then a gear change means that the gear has to move from one sprocket to another. If you have internal gears then the chain stays, and cogwheel inside the hub moves.
When your riding a bike how does energy move from your body to the wheels?
the energy transferred from out (levers) or legs to the pedals makes the gears of the bike spin a chain connected to the tiers there for making it spin.
What is a 10-speed bike?
a 10 speed bike use to be a bike, that has 2 chain wheels at the pedal and 5 chain wheels at the back wheel, thsu making 10 different combinations that the chain wheels can be used. it can also mean a 20spd road bike...but instead of saying 20spd we say 10spd as slang because it has 10 gears at the back and 2 at the front 10x2=??
How many gears does a standard bmx bike have?
Two, but this is not the same as how many speeds the BMX bike in question has. A BMX bike has a sprocket in the front, and a cog in the back and each is a gear, but is considered a single speed bicycle because two gears and a chain are required for transmission of rotational force from the crankset to the rear wheel.
Putting a new chain on a mountain bike where is first gear?
First gear on a bicycle with external/derailer gears is with the chain on the smallest chainwheel(by the pedals) and the biggest sprocket(by the rear wheel).
How many gears does a motorcycle have?
It depends on the bike if the engine of bike is heavy it has more gears. Usually 5 gears are max gears.
