Super useful man! Thanks. Short, concise, and with links to the tools. Couldn't have asked for more.

Glad to hear it helped!

thanks. New to motorcycling so this is all new to me (getting that chain slap so it needs doing)

thank you for this. My first BMW with a chain, so this is helpful.

Great video. Simple and to the point. Many thanks

Thanks

thanks for the tips bro!

Perfeito vídeo. Mesmo no Brasil e falando outra língua resolveu meu problema. Parabéns.

Great video. Really helpful. And love how easy you make it. Thanks! Just questions. Definitely not criticisms (I'm an over thinker! 😂)... I notice you didn't check other points along the chain as they often develop tight spots. Adjustment is normally to the tightest spot. Was that just to be concise, or have you other views on this? Also, the user manual with my bike recommends a mechanical locking adhesive... I noticed you left this out. German over engineering for the over cautious like me perhaps?

Glad this could help! I don't try to pretend to be any smarter than I am lol. I buy the shop manuals to everything I own then make vids if I think it's something the average joe might struggle with and could use some info on. I love the vids where people point out the mistakes they made so you avoid them and so I try to do the same. As far as your questions... I had no tightness in my chain and to be honest not quite sure what you mean...links hanging up? If that were the case I'd look at replacing my chain if it was bad. I never used any loctite on this and never had any problems but by all means it couldn't hurt.

@@rednecktech82- totally appreciate that. Your video is super helpful. I easily over think and complicate things. Re tight spots, i know when i adjusted chains on my other bikes, when i rotated the chain, and the measured tightness, it wasn't always the same from place to place . It was tighter or looser as you went around. So you always adjusted at the tightest spot. - But I'm going back 20 years. So maybe chains are made better these days. Anyway thanks again. Love the videos. 🙏🙏🙏

did you put the rims duplex, it seems like the wires are pressing from the sides

Thank you for your video! It helped me alot. And I’ve subscribed :) Br //M

Are the chains rusted? Please help cuz i am also facing this issue in my new bike chain

Thanks, very helpful. Could you tell me what tools I should buy to tighten the chain? I’m a beginner

I am newbee too... you seemed to start from a wheel that was already aligned, correct? I said that bcause you go 1/4 turns on each side... I went too far when I replaced the tires and totally removed the screws that adjust the chain, so the 1/4 turns do not work for me. How could I now know that the wheel is aligned/that the screws have the same amount of turns on each side...? Makes sense?

Unscrew them completely and start over counting your turns...a pinch off won't matter you just don't want to be obviously off.

when I've tried this on my bmw G650GS and Honda CB125F I've had the same problem on both bikes, which is when I tighten the axle nut, one side of the axle always wants to push away from the chain adjuster bolt, leaving the wheel out of line. How do I stop the rotational force / leverage from the spanner pushing the axle along the swingarm while it tightens? Sub'd.

Odd that it's both bikes because all I can think is the adjuster screw is stripped or the pin that keeps it aligned in the slot is broken. Once both sides are evenly adjusted tightening the axle nut obviously shouldn't cause any other movement.

​@@rednecktech82they're talking about stopping the movement using a screwdriver and a rag at the chain / sprocket . Which I don't understand either 😂

Maybe check the forumns, this is my first adventure bike so I'm not familiar with any other possible setups. My friends' Africa Twin, Suzuki's and Ducati(?) all have this setup and follow this procedure with no issues.

My only other thought would be debri or a burr that is preventing the adjustment parts from sliding freely/unobstructed?
