How To: Kawasaki Ninja 250 Chain Adjustment 

Great watching an actual mechanic do it right. No just rushing it. Tedious but done right. Why it’s so nice finding a shop that does things you can trust are well done.

That's it I'm subsribing! Short, simple, detailed and easy to understand! Keep up the good work Dave!

If you have watched other videos of Dave Moss Tuning you will see that he goes over everything very well. He did look like he was rushing so the rider could get back on the track. Could have been a hot day and we always forget some stuff every once in a while. So don't hate the video. Everything that he didn't mention has been answered in the comments.

can you clarify why you use a screwdriver between the sprocket and chain when tightening the axle? thanks

You're very best teacher and u know about very deep knowledge in bike few people know about and they don't tell about everyone in free so u and ur work great.most superbiker don't know any knowledge 🙏🏻👌🏻👍

How can you tell if the chain is too loose or too tight? Great video by the way!

my kawasaki 250 chain always loosens, even when i tighten it. for one to two days its fine then it gets loose agian, and one day while i was riding it came off and it got strungled up in the front sproket and got broken, but thank i was driving slowly when that happend. so what am i doing wrong? is the two nuts on each side wrong to use?

Mudux, I believe that the only slicks that fit these rims are the Moto3 fitment. I have been curious how they affect geometry and Dave Moss may be the guy to tell us. :)

Would be beneficial to mention wheel alignment here also

Once Again... Thanks!

so how do you keep the wheel aligned when you have to re tighten the chain after you change out the front sprocket?

Thanks!

Was there a crack in the rear swing arm back there???? Looks like a small weld job

What size are both rear axle nuts

What tools are required for this job?

Don't use an 18 inch breaker bar or you'll over tighten the 22mm nut.

Is there any cons of having a too tight chain and a too loose chain?

Good job 👍👌👏💯

I have a ninja 250r wanted to know if a 14 39 sprocket and a 520 chain would work fine

Hi dave great video!... does it also pertain to my 03 - 250? I also have one more question theres piece of semi hard rubber that the top of my chain rests on and I've seen plenty of other vids of my style 250 ninja and I've never seen this rubber piece. Is this normal? I'm thinking the chain is loose ive put 430 miles on her since October and have had no issues with the chain so far other than it looking suspect lol

So you guys dont use tensioner gauges to check tension???

what size is that castle nut?

May I know why he put screwdriver between the sprocket and chain when tighten up the tyres?

6years ago,what camera did you use sir?

I can't find the same model as mine anywhere 😑

Is it important to spin the tire to check in various areas of the chain when adjusting slack?

Where’s your accent from?

What does he mean one face?

Is that a 120/60 tire? What's the reasoning for using it?

I'm sure this guy is experienced but he didn't go over the proper way to check the bikes chain measurement and didn't go over the wheel alignment using the notches on the nut. Not very impressed by this guy. With many novice like myself here, this is the wrong way of doing a how to video. MC Garage is way better than this!

What about the chain slack mentioned in manual?
