Adjusting Drive Chain?
 

Pulled both wheels this morning, was going to mount new tires myself but had no luck finding tire irons. Gave up and took them to a tire shop. They had the both tires mounted in less than 10 minutes for $30 and did an awesome job! Worked for me.

I have the back tire on but don't see any specs in the service manual on drive chain tension. It's entirely possible that I've overlooked it. :icon_doh: I'm thinking about 1 1/2" of play? Help me Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

3/4" play, Dao.

Ty Mr. Trout!

You're quite welcome!
Another thing...
If you don't have an owner's manual, here is a link to one in PDF.
Factory Owner's Manual

The spec for chain freeplay is on page 72 of the manual (pg 76 of the PDF) :)

DOH!! I have it but only looked at the service manual! :icon_doh:
Thanks again

Remember to spin your wheel and adjust it at the tightest spot Mr Jones ...


Don't sound like yu misses would have much fun with that Dylan ...:icon_razz:



morning ...
and ..om outta here to work now ... :icon_bike:

Good morning to you Mr. CBRClassic and thanks for the advice! Don't work too hard today.
Thanks to you too Mr. Trout!

I think I've got it under control now. Putting away the tools and going for a little ride. If the chain doesn't break or jump the sprocket, or the wheels fall off, or the brakes fail I'll be in good shape. :icon_wink: If any of that happens, my insurance is paid up and I could use a vacation anyway. :icon_teeth:

Just remember, a vacation with a set of handlebars stuck up your fanny, isn't much of a vacation. :D

Enjoy the ride, Dao!

Mornin' to you, too, steve! :D:D

For your information, though... It's 3" long..... but 5" wide.

Sounds like a can of beer nuts. :icon_teeth:
