Literally the best tutorial video for Vit 401 chain maintenance. Thank you.

@gtoramirez

Great video! I had to watch several videos to tension my chain, your video would have saved me last year. Oh well, it’s here for the newbies.

5-7 mm between swingarm down pointing arrow and upwards pushed top of the chain feels incredibly tight. Factory specs of other motorcycles ask for 20-30 mm chain slack but in the case of husq the slack is about 10mm when tightened following owners manual. I am afraid of adding stress on front sprocket while doing it as factory suggested.

per manual chain tension is checked with bike raised in the air

Hi there, just clicked on the video to leave a comment but when you measure the 5-7mm do you do it from the lip of the swingarm or the slightly higher spot behind the lip?
