Thanks a lot. It a chain alignment tool. You sit it on the rear sprocket, see the red dot on the chain next to the sprocket then turn the wheel a bit so the light is now shining further down the chain. The dot should be at the same place all the way down the chain then you know it is straight.

@angrybearduk 10 лет назад

Thanks for the video. Just followed the instructions and adjusted chain on my 1050.

@richardg2959 3 года назад

Really well presented and easy to understand. Will look for more tips that I can do myself but nothing to complicated 👍

DuPont chain lube and degreaser have worked great over my last three bikes for ~130k miles. Rarely need to adjust chain compared with others lubes I've tried. Always spin my wheel by hand though, as I'm not getting my hands near a moving chain/spokes. ;)

Good video very informative. I adjusted and cleaned my chain today on my Xrx as it had become loose since purchase in July 2017. The bike and chain are not as clean as yours, as I use it all year round in all weathers. I don't have a car so my bike is a means of transport on the daily commute. Cheers

@dasf2008 8 лет назад

I like the Motul C1 to clean the chain. It is a nice product, tough a bit expensive. I agree that it is dangerous to work on the rear wheel with the engine on but it is complicated to distribute the oil nicely if you spin it by hand.

@MuddySump 7 лет назад

+Demetrio FILHO that why I just use paraffin. Can sometimes use a full can of chain cleaner on one clean.

Great vid, however, I would suggest NEVER have your engine running whilst working on your chain, I have seen horrific hand injuries in my time. (I work in x-ray)

Yea, one minute you're merrilly cleaning your chain and then suddenly you only have two fingers left! not good.

@richardhutton3552 3 года назад

Is the 20-30mm the distance down from the swing arm when the chain is pushed up, or the total travel between upper and lower level? I looked this up in the Haynes manual and it’s not too clear. Love the video. Great breakdown including the spanner sizes and torque settings. Thanks for sharing your skills!

@MuddySump 3 года назад

It’s the distance from the chain at its lowest point to its highest point. I just use the swing arm to keep the tape measure in a set position

@benclarkson9186 10 лет назад

Great quality vid. Would it be an idea to shield the spray from hitting the wheel? A little bit of card hanging from the swing arm would do it?

@MuddySump 10 лет назад

Yes can do. Could hold an old rag behind to coach the over spray

@sliglusamelius8578 2 года назад

You could have explained counter vs clockwise in tightening the chain or loosening it.

Loosen the bolt to push the axle backwards.

@ludodg 10 лет назад

according to manual: 20 - 30mm of play on the XC, 15 to 25 mm on the road-model

@MuddySump 10 лет назад

There was a service bulletin out, cant remember what number it was but both models are 20-30 mm now.

@ludodg 10 лет назад

MuddySump allright, thx!

@whyckicki 10 лет назад

So if I got it right, the free play of the chain is bigger when on center stand ? So the 20-30mm is on center stand or side stand ? Nice video by the way ! Helps a lot !

@MuddySump 10 лет назад

20-30mm is when the bike is upright with both wheels on the ground. If you adjust it on the centre stand the chain will tighten when the wheels are on the floor

@michaeldent222 9 лет назад

Think I'm going to have to have one of those chain alignment tools :-)

@MuddySump 9 лет назад

The tigers chain alignment points on the swinging arm are pretty accurate already.

@mikemccanna8548 8 лет назад

Sadly they didnt bother to put those on the '15+ - What tool is that? I didnt hear it mentioned.

@MeeJunksEavy 10 лет назад

Great vid. My Street triple uses a similar technique. Wondering if this can be done on a rear paddock stand as well?

@MuddySump 10 лет назад

Hi. Yes it's the same. Since it's on the paddock stand you've already got the tension taken up that you should have with both wheels on the floor so can set the chain tension to the proper spec

@Grumpyoldtwit 7 лет назад

Could you explain why you put the spanner between the chain and sprocket while you tightened the wheel nut? I recently had a new rear tire fitted, and the mechanic did something similar, except he used a rag, not a spanner.

@MuddySump 7 лет назад

+Muzz Litebeer it stops the wheel moving back when tightening the nut and making the chain tighter

@SurfnPics 3 года назад

How frequently should the chain be cleaned and what tyres do you have thanks?

@MuddySump 3 года назад

Depends what kind of riding you do really. If it’s looking dirty and full of road grime give it a clean and lube. The tyres were the standard scorpions that came fitted to the bike. I never had to replace them when I had it

@HGPILOT2 7 лет назад

Hey @MuddySump - quick question. Trying to figure out exactly where the halfway point is on the swing arm so I can accurately check the chain slack. In the video you just say it's halfway between the front / back sprocket. I'm having a hard time locating that point without taking off the shifter mechanism so I can access the front sprocket cover so I can take an accurate measurement. Is there not some sort of mark on the swing arm? There is so much exacting information with NM settings, chain slack parameters (20-30 mm), etc. that I'm surprised it's not an exact mark. Is this an exact point for checking or is it more of a general eyeball halfway point?

@MuddySump 7 лет назад

+Matt McLelland yea, it's not that accurate 🙂 just by look

@pigeonpallz1733 4 года назад

@boristheblade209 9 лет назад

Nice vid My DRZ's chain seems way too tight, i get about 35mm play between the sprockets on the lower part of the chain, (10mm down, 25mm up) with the bike on the side stand. But my back wheel is almost all of the way forward, meaning i cant loosen the chain much. Do you think i need a new chain or get another link put in? cheers

@TomSz13 7 лет назад

If the bike is on the center stand, what is the slack on the chain? Also 20-30mm?

@MuddySump 7 лет назад

+Tomek no. Needs to be checked with both wheels on the ground. It usually tightens when you put it down

What is the adjuatment for regular tiger 800 non XC? Same 20-30mm or less?

Yes. It used to be less but got changed to the same tension on all models

@paulbrady1103 2 года назад

Is that on the centre stand at the time?

I’m adjusting it on the centrestand. The proper free play should be checked with the wheels on the ground though.

@Irinaha 2 года назад

Hi Muddy Sump. I tried the method you have demonstrated here and am finding my chain has accumulated significant wax build up plus it wasnt nearly as clean as your was in this video. My Grungebrush caked up much hot wax and was nearly unusable after about 5 minutes of cleaning. What am I doing wrong?

@MuddySump 2 года назад

Where’s the hot wax coming from?

@Irinaha 2 года назад

@@MuddySump i basically melt the wax in a stainless steel pot and once it has boiled down to a liquid apply it using my grunge brush.

I don’t use wax. It’s just a liquid. Paraffin, kerosene in the US. If it’s wax it will turn back into a wax when it cools

@ketamyna 8 лет назад

there's one thing I don't get. when you move the chain up and down, it seems to me it moves a lot, let's say a good 6 7 cm. shouldn't it move just 2 or 3 cm max?

@MuddySump 8 лет назад

Is that not just at the start when it's slack? When it's set it should be 20-30mm when it's on the ground

@ketamyna 8 лет назад

Thank you.

@ketamyna 8 лет назад

today, while adjusting the chain, after unlocking the axle nut and the 2 lockouts I got stuck when the offside bolt for the adjustment wouldn't move. I managed to turn it maybe at urn at best but nothing more than that. I'm worried I could end up braking it. Has this ever happened to you before? Do you have any advice for it? thank you

@MuddySump 8 лет назад

It's what I fear every time I go to turn them. They are known to seize in. Best to take the wheel off and try it with a socket instead of a spanner. Squirt wd40 on the bolt inside the swingarm and let it soak for a bit. There's holes on the inside of the swingarm and they let dirt and water in onto the bolt.

@ketamyna 8 лет назад

Thanks. I'll try it. Had both tires replaced with the pilot 4 trail and the guy didn't do any adjustment. So I did it myself but the bolt was stuck. Probably previous owner never checked it, considering what I've found on the chain too. I'll spray wd40 and leave it overnight then I'll take the wheel off and try with a socket. Thanks again.

@MutasemHalawani 2 года назад

Why lube the chain from the side and outer side?. I’ve heard it’s not useful and only adds more lube on non fraction points which makes the chain collect more dirt
