About to Adjust Chain Slack
This is going to be my first time adjusting chain slack on the 07' CBR600RR I got a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any bike specific pointers when it comes to this procedure. It seems pretty straight forward, just loosen the axle nut and then spin the little nuts on the swing arm to push the axle back a little bit? Or am I missing anything?
Also what is the recommended chain slack on this bike? 2"-3"?

somebody correct me but i think its like 3/4" to 1" slack.. loosen axle , loosen lock-nuts and turn adjuster two equal turns at a time to maintain tracking straight. to check you can measure from axlebolt to swingarm bolt and both sides should match.. not too bad of a job, also , always lube chain after adjustment...hope this helps...peeece

I've seen people set chains too tight while the suspension is unloaded, not realizing it gets even tighter with the weight of the bike, then tighter yet with the weight of the rider.
