    I wouldn't trust the factory marks to be sure your tire is lined up as I've seen many bikes where those marks are off. Best way is to line up two long straight edges on each side of and against the rear tire that extend past the front tire when the bike is upright and check they are equidistant from each side of the front tire. An easier way is to check the tire is physically centered in the swingarm with the same amount of clearance on both sides at the front of the rear tire.

    Great video, even years later. Only thing I’d add is a zip tie behind the 12 mm jam nut to prevent it from backing off, if by some reason it ever loosens up.

    Had to change my 2003 KLR rear tire on the road (for the first time). I wasn't sure if I had gotten the chain tension right. I watched a lot of video's but none were as thorough as yours. I see my rear is not in align so will head out to the garage to get the tension right and ensure it is aligned properly. Thank you. Great video!

    Hey , great video ! Very easy to understand. I like the quick method of checking the chain slack. I just finished tightening up my chain thanks to your video.

  • @fishonkayakadventure
    @fishonkayakadventure 4 года назад

    adjusted my chain exactly as you stated, it's tight as a drum at 2 inches to the top of the chain. loosened it so it will almost touch the rubber on the upper swing arm and my slack now shows over 2.5 inches.

  • @fishonkayakadventure
    @fishonkayakadventure 4 года назад

    about a 1/4 turn. that'd be 90º, not the 180º half turn that you made on the first adjustment on the right side. if you get that wrong and the two sides are not equal, allowing the axle to be perpendicular and square to the frame, you will get really, really bad wobble at speed. there is also a fair amount of slop in both of those adjuster reference tabs. make sure they are both pulled all the way back or you can have up to a 1/4" of misalignment, which will cause wobble at speeds too.

    I have a stainless steel header and LEXX slip on exhaust , and to many aftermarket parts to improve my bike to list. KLR 650 is a damn good bike if you do full maintenance it will run great for a long time.

  • @unclequack5445
    @unclequack5445 6 лет назад

    I installed a quality Gold o ring chain with Super sprox gold rear and steel front in stock gearing I adjusted mine one time and had stayed in spec for miles and miles using cheapo chain and sprockets do not save you money in the long haul. Yo KLR guy i have the same model as you and it runs beautifully.

    Just a stupid question: Why not use some of the new oil to lubricate each end of the new filter?
