All the comments about the chain being too tight, no one noticed that the aluminium swingarm block on the non drive side was 90 degrees out, pretty dangerous, and the axle isn't centered in the swing arm. Not only that, but the way that you measured where the rear axle will be completely out too. Some people REALLY shouldn't be allowed anywhere near spanners!
Yeah it was a tad tight, i ended up just letting it off abit to give abit more slack, should always follow manufacturers recommendation for chain slack but typically they are around 30-40mm, thanks for watching and commenting thou 👍
Confused on why you loosened the chain side bolt but tightened the other side...? I get the fact that loosening , (or backing out), the bolts is what tightens the chain, but you shortened the other one..?? Am I wrong? If so, my apologies.
Your right, but I only realised after I stopped recording that side but I did end up re- adjusting my chain after anyway as once It was all tight I wanted it a tad looser, very good eye for detail on your part! 👍
ALL THINGS JIM. Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah thought it was strange but wasn’t sure as never done it before. No problem, cheers for doing the vid tho
@@Jordan_ZX6R no problem, thanks for commenting, its an easy job to do just make sure you adjust it the same both sides and check it with a tape measure or ruler etc and obviously do it as tight as the manufcturer recommends ( chain shouldnt be tight it needs some free play, think on my bike its 30mm off the top of my head but id still double check that) 👍
Perfect video man no unnecessary commentary and shows every step and tools needed. Great work
Thanks!
Just bought a zx6r and saw it needed a tighten thanks for teaching me in all of seven minutes 😂😂

Dang man! I had to rewatch it because I started dancing. Most exciting chain adjustment tutorial yet! Thanks sir!
Great thanks just got my first bike and she’s a little loose I love the zx6r though can wait to get out more
That's too tight

Sorry to nag but you have to spin your wheel before adjusting the chain to search tightest area of the chain
Ill remember that next time, never been told that before 👍
Thanks for the video, Jim.
SaltyReward not a problem thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Will a 32mm socket not work?
it got too tight when you sit on the bike it will be more stretched
Hi are you sure you rotated the chain adjuster on the right hand side correctly. It looks like your loosening it off? Plan to do mine soon
