Thanks for your video, I wouldn't of felt comfortable attempting this without watching the first. 27mm socket is needed for the torque wrench tightened to 110nm. Cheers great help.

Per the owner's manual: -Place the motorcycle on a level surface and hold it in an upright position with no weight on it. -Rotate the rear wheel by pushing the motorcycle to find the position where the chain is tightest, and measure the vertical movement of the chain midway between the sprockets. -The vertical movement of the drive chain must be in the range 21 - 30 mm. (0.83-1.18 in.) (13/16 - 1+ 3/16in.)

The manual’s recommendation is impractical unless you have an able assistant. The paddock stand method described in video is an exactly equivalent suspension load and much more practical.

There was an update for the early models as 13-32mm is too tight- my gearbox bearing was whining at this tension- so Triumph recommend 25-30mm on its wheels,which I set to 35mm on the ABBA stand AT THE TIGHTEST POINT-VERY IMPORTANT and missed off this video. My bike is the 2009 Street Triple 675 R.

Great video. You make it so simple. Just did a 6K service at my dealership, and I think all those knuckleheads did was change the oil(after I told them not to-I do it before winter), and did not check jack on the bike, especially the chain tension.

Can't beat the price of that Harbor Freight stand, light weight, great design and it works as intended. They do make open end wrenches with a 1/2" drive hole so you can use them on a torque wrench, if there's an application there's a tool out there for it, thanks for posting, I enjoy riding my street triple, cheers mate.

turn the wheel and push chain up with three fingers and find the tightest point of the chain first, there is a section of 4-6 links tighter than the rest and mark that tightest link with paint, very important to do that first or the chain will be to tight on the gear box, read your manual, make chain adjustment on the painted link

Looking good felt it looked a little tight but you did measure it so hay must be good. The only thing I would do is find the tight spot first and adjust to that point 👍

X chains only need a thin film of lube to prevent corrosion. The real lubricant is sealed in the chain. Save you a mess with the spay and wipe it a moist towel. Just a thought. Good video btw.

Daytona has a track set up. Very Common to have a more play, so the suspension has more play too. Road bikes have less need of more free play in chain and therefore suspension. The manual says 13 mm - 32 mm play, mine is set up at 20 mm - 25 mm play.
@emkayusa8 жыл бұрын
Cool info. Probably also why the Street Triple calls for much higher rear tire pressure, which makes the ride unbearable. I lowered it to the Daytona pressure.
@DaMaX748 жыл бұрын
+Michael Keller Yes less pressure more grip by the rule. For straight highway commuting I set the pressure a bit higher, also for more tire mileage. About the chain tension, less tension gives a greater margin between the rear axel and front sprocket in groundplay, so more play for the spring/suspenion to set in and out. Of course there's also the torque to keep in mind. More torque needs more play.

The Triumph manual says that when retightning, you should "...push the wheel into firm contact with the adjuster.. tighten both adjuster lock nuts..". Any idea what they mean when they say push the wheel into firm contact?
@RSfiregod4 жыл бұрын
wheel alignment, so it would be perfectly straight, and not a couple of mm of. remember that this is written for legal purposes. so you can't go to court when you break your chain by having an un-alligned rear wheel.

Why would that matter and if it was me I would do it in neutral and I would also be turning the tire and checking the whole chain for that tension instead of just one spot
