This How-To video shows how I cleaned and lubricated my 2023 Ninja 650 chain, and did a chain slack adjustment start to finish. Wish you a super fun day. And remember, it's not about the destination, it's about the ride baby!
If you are sitting on the bike, the left side is the nut, and the right side is the bolt head. The nut size on my 2023 Ninja 650 is 1 1/16" and the bolt head size is 7/8"

I did my first chain adjustment today on the same bike, I had a bit of a nightmare to start though, I couldn't quite figure out why the wheel alignment indicatora was not pointing at the same marker when I was tightening both adjusters, the markers only seem to move when you tighten, so when I loosened them I was trying to understand why the marker wasn't moving while I was trying to match them up, then I pushed on the wheel a bit and I think I managed to do it. They seem aligned now but couldn't help but stress whilst doing this today! Gunna take it for a little spin tomorrow to make sure it's ok

Cardboard box idea, LIKE! Probably need a tad more cardboard where it's leaking. Power wash...GREAT!!

@gmbmedia28

Thank you for this tutorial video specially for the chain adjustment. I own a 2023 Z650 and from the looks of it it has the same method for adjusting the chain slack. Ride safe and cheers 🏍🏍🍻🍻

I have a big question to you guys, I have the same bike and after tighten the axle nut, I found out that the left marker is like 1mm different than the right marker and when driving feel like the bike is leaning to the right a little, what should I do, just release the left nuts and make sure it's the same as the right marker or I also have to release the locknut too ? thank you all !

@chanfleman

So you only have to loosen the left axle nut?

@machineabart

I'm not sure but on my Z650RS which is tech identical to the Ninja the chain slack has to be checked on a side stand with the wheel down on the ground hence the extensive slack on your chain with the wheel up in the air.

Great Video. But Im not sure where the top of your ruler is touching. Is it the bottom of the upper chain?

@krooked89

It would be nice if you stated the axle nut size!

@danielpye7050

Can I ask, what rear stand are you using and what size swing arm spools (bobbins), do you have links for both products? I'd like to get some green myself

@kevincooper3830

Great video thanks!

@BlackArroToons

Keeping the chain clean and loose is really important, I agree. Great to have a regular routine for it.

@cloudybiker

@Scotth44

@jonnathanjean7071

@danielpye7050
