Chain jumping/noissey on rear sprocket ?

Hi All
My chain on my rear sprocket makes a noise like a bag of bolts/creaking/ and click every revolution as if it's not 'sitting' correct ?
It is very lightly oiled, any ideas?
Cheers

That's the first thing I'd check.

I take it that adjustment will align it either way and sort it for all gears.
The other thing I would check is to make sure that your wheel is properly in place - if you've had it out recently it could just be not sitting in the dropouts.
The parktools.com help pages are really good for info - that's definitely where I would start if I was trying to learn how to do it.
It's easy though - just a case of knowing what each screw does and thinking about it a bit - once you understand how it works it's easy to fix.

See, they return, and bring us with them.
That sound a good bet as there is a 'jump' at a certain point but think it relates to one rev of the rear cassette.
I did clean the chain last week but did not apply any oil and did notive a couple of stiff/bent areas in the chain so spraayed on some GT85 and seemed ok after, so the chain could be dry ?
I do not have any chain oil as was undecided on what to get as loads out there.
Anyone recommend one ?
Cheers
The bike is second hand and looks chain is loose on font sprockets, i can lift the chain all over where it connects !!!
Could this be a worn out chain which has also worn out the sprockets.
The bike was bought secondhand....Would pics help guys, getting worried onw.
