Top tips... 1) Clean and lube the chin before adjusting 2) Find the tight point in the chain before attempting adjustment 3) Slacken the locknut before attempting to turn the adjuster bolt 4) Adjust both sides equally...count the flats 5) Hold the bolts when tightening the locknut...that's why the bolt and locknut use different spanner sizes 5) Ensure the wheel is fully forward against the adjuster bolts before tightening the axle nut
Thanks for the video. A great trick to ensure the wheel is tight against the adjusters before tightening the axle nut is to roll a folded rag between the chain and sprocket
Out of my own experience with cleaning chains, do not use rag to clean, use the brush dedicated for chains, I nearly lost my finger because of the rag getting pulled along with my hand. It took three stitches and 2 months to recover. Be safe.
How did that happen, you kept rotating the wheel while your fingers started getting caught up into the rear sprocket? Wasn’t it in neutral? Couldn’t you have just rotated the wheel the other way and dislodged your finger? I’m trying to figure out how this could happen, not trying to be offensive, just curious.
Your eyes are better than mine my friend, I didn't bother reading the fine print, I could hardly see the numbers on the diagram. Oh well, I like living dangerously.
@@ocdmoto hehe, a magnifying glaas and a bright light is required to read this manual. ;) i was used to make chain maintenance on central stand before. Change my habit for this lady. Kind regards
I’m not tracking. Are you confused as to what could possibly have happened to cause my chain to look like that? Or are you referring to the amount of stretch? Regardless, if you’re seriously confused, man, you have a life time of confusion ahead of you. What part of the video are you asking whether I know “grease,” before or after I clean it? If before, reread what I just wrote earlier, if after, I lube it, so again, I’m not tracking. Regarding the “look” of the maintenance, I’m doing this in my home garage, what are you expecting? I think your standards are too high for my channel, please unsubscribe.

Very nice, thanks Richard.

Hi there, chain tension must be mesured at 48 mm on lateral stand ( according to the manual)

Please, what makes you such an expert? Post your own version, then we can talk.
Thanks very helpful
Some owners have fitted a 17 tooth front sprocket ... thoughts ?
I haven’t had the need to change the gearing. I’m sure it’s an improvement, but I don’t it’s worth it for me to make the change at this time.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
What torque wrench is that you are using?

@@ocdmoto I think he is referring to the fact that WD 40 isn't meant to be used as a lubricant. Cheers.
