Torque wrench should never be used as a breaker bar.

Yes this was painful to watch

Best instruction motorcycle chain adjustment on RU-vid. Thank you.

@mexifry222 Год назад

Also once you put weight on the bike it will make it even tighter. Aim for the middle of spec or towards the looser measurement.

This is the best video for the adjustment I’ve come across. Thank you!

Just a couple notes... You're going to want the chain on the looser side of the spec. If it's tight, it'll wear the sprocket and chain faster. Also, when checking the chain, you should rotate the tire until you find the tightest part of the chain.

Great explanation.Thanks.

Thanks for this!! I needed help & boom there you were #lifesaver

@saniman1376 Год назад

honesty, I really l love your vids, really wish you'd keep a full diy maintainers guide series right from the first service till the end... this is my dream bike really will be healpfull for students like me to save up some money by doing diy servicing on this bike !

I’ve got a couple of tutorials on the basic stuff. Check out my channel and if there’s anything else you’d like to see let me know 👍🏼

@joeplem5329 Год назад

Very easy to follow along, I'll probably have to do this sometime next year cause mine is taking its looooong winter nap (Wisconsin winters suck SMH)

The wait continues.. 🤣

@andrew, tention or slack is different on a chain because the sprokets are not perfectly round, so that is why you need to find tightest spot on a chain

@js6003 Год назад

Nice video. I have an issue where i can't seem to get the correct slack. As soon as i move the bike ( shocks moving ) the chain goes super tight. If i try to make it loser to take into account this issue then it just stays loose. I must have tried a dozen times and the outcome is exactly the same. Even got Kawasaki to try and it was good when i left the shop and loose as a goose by the time i got home. A half turn on the slack screws for me changes the tightness completely. Its like there is no half measure for m chain.

I used my condor stand for the front and rear stand so the tire won’t slide around. A tad above one inch is where I leave mine and maintain it weekly.

@xy4859 Год назад

Easier than I thought... scared of screwing it up though 😅

@rosscollier3992 Год назад

What size and pitch are the bobbins? Struggling to find some for my 900rs

@cG-es8mb Год назад

Every time I get my chain tension where I want it I then tighten my bolts. Once I get them tighten I check my chain slack again and for some reason it gets tighter after tightening the bolts. For me I get it around 35mm of tension and by time I tighten the bolts it is somewhere around 30mm of tension. Not sure why my chain tightens more when I tighten the bolts but it does.

@macfattahi1295 9 месяцев назад

You’ve confused chain slack with tension. You need to look at the top of the chain when moving it up and down. When the top begins to move / tighten up that is where your slack measurement ends and you begin measuring tension… your chain is now too tight because you went far beyond the slack measurement

@raykarpuska Месяц назад

@macfattahi1295 yes you are right. I have z900 and i spent many times adjusting it, by pushing it hard down and up, but after watching @davemosstuning videos and others, come to find that the slack messured without boring it tention from the above chain, so moving only without the top one moving. Another video i have seen showed why the tention is different on different parts. Mostly it has almost nothing todo with the chain itself, but it’s the sproket not being fully centered, so it creates different tention. I had my adjusted first so i bearly got 25mm (min) with really going up and down.. but that was way too tight
