Top tips... 1) Clean and lube the chin before adjusting 2) Find the tight point in the chain before attempting adjustment 3) Slacken the locknut before attempting to turn the adjuster bolt 4) Adjust both sides equally...count the flats 5) Hold the bolts when tightening the locknut...that's why the bolt and locknut use different spanner sizes 5) Ensure the wheel is fully forward against the adjuster bolts before tightening the axle nut
Thanks for the video. A great trick to ensure the wheel is tight against the adjusters before tightening the axle nut is to roll a folded rag between the chain and sprocket
Your eyes are better than mine my friend, I didn't bother reading the fine print, I could hardly see the numbers on the diagram. Oh well, I like living dangerously.
@@ocdmoto hehe, a magnifying glaas and a bright light is required to read this manual. ;) i was used to make chain maintenance on central stand before. Change my habit for this lady. Kind regards
I’m not tracking. Are you confused as to what could possibly have happened to cause my chain to look like that? Or are you referring to the amount of stretch? Regardless, if you’re seriously confused, man, you have a life time of confusion ahead of you. What part of the video are you asking whether I know “grease,” before or after I clean it? If before, reread what I just wrote earlier, if after, I lube it, so again, I’m not tracking. Regarding the “look” of the maintenance, I’m doing this in my home garage, what are you expecting? I think your standards are too high for my channel, please unsubscribe.

Hi there, chain tension must be mesured at 48 mm on lateral stand ( according to the manual)

Thanks very helpful
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Some owners have fitted a 17 tooth front sprocket ... thoughts ?
I haven’t had the need to change the gearing. I’m sure it’s an improvement, but I don’t it’s worth it for me to make the change at this time.
What torque wrench is that you are using?
A digital one by GearWrench.

@@ocdmoto I think he is referring to the fact that WD 40 isn't meant to be used as a lubricant. Cheers.
