Postby shoebox1 » Mon Apr 28, 2014 4:54 pm

id like to check my chain for slack but i have no idea what the spec is.. 25mm? is that with rider on it? would you check that on the lower length of chain in the middle?

a straight line is at its longest when its 180 degrees - any other angle then it shortens,
so when adjusting the chain allow for 25mm slack then get one or two friend to just sit on the bike untill the swingarm levels
out with the front sprocket ( this is at its straightest therefore its longest ) now check to see if there is just a little play..
this way ensures the chain will not stretch due to rider weight,

I THINK ?

Its very easy to make something easy hard but even harder to make something hard easy, :oops:

More importantly,
Don't over tighten, you can prematurely wear your chain / sprockets & most costly your countershaft bearing, seal & shaft.
Loose is better than over "Tight" !

Hi, the Baghira/Mastiff owners handbook shows this for chain adjustment.
