Hello guys,
In this video I have tried to explain the process of chain slack adjustment.
This is not a professional grade video I am just another random owner like you.
The process is almost same for other motorcycles.
Tools needed.(Also present in the kit)
1 Size 24 spanner for axle bolt.
2 Two size 12 open end spanners for adjustments.
3 Something to lock the front brake like a small rope.
4 Block of wood to keep under the side stand.
5 Ruler or tape measure to measure the slack.
Process.
Always measure the slack with the rear wheel on the ground and swingarm bearing the weight of the motorcycle. This is the correct slack, as if you measure and adjust the slack on the unloaded swingarm then most of that slack would be eaten as soon as you put the bike off the center stand.
Recommended slack is 20 to 30 mm(Refer your manual) , I keep it at the maximum range, too tight chain would put unwanted stress on the chain set and too lose would slap around and make noise.
1 loosen the axle bolt as much as it allows the axle to move.
2 Make note of adjustment marks on the chain side then open the locking nut and make adjustment with the inner or adjuster nut.
3 turn the adjuster nut clockwise/ inward to make it tight.
4 turn the adjuster nut anticlockwise / outward to make it lose.
5 do quarter of a turn and measure.
6 after getting the desired slack tighten the locking nut and make note of the adjustment markings.
7 now follow the same process on the other side(Right) and make sure marking on the swingarm matches to have a balanced swingarm. This side you can do on the main stand.
8 Tighten the Axle bolt.
9 to double sure measure and match the remaining thread on the adjusters on both sides.
Hope this helps you guys.
