Loose chain

RE: Loose chain
Try the search function. Pretty easy though.Just getthe rear tire off the ground with arear stand or jack. Loosen the axle andadjust the tensionbolts on the back of the swing arm.Make sure both sides are even and the chain is straight with the front sprocket. You probably want about 1/2 inch slack(be sure to check it in a few different spots).
If your getting a lot of noise you may also have a dirty chain. I'd clean it up while you got the bike up anyways. Goodluck!

RE: Loose chain
Ajust and lube your chain every 500 miles. I adjust my chain to about 1" of slack. I would think 1/2" is too tight, but I could be wrong. The axle bolt takes a 22mm socket, the axle nut is a 27mm socket, and the chain adjustors are an 8mm socket. You might check into getting one of those roller deals for the back wheel. They are cheaper than buying a rear stand. Good luck.
