Motorcycle Chain Alignment (The Easy Way!)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I'll show you the fastest, simplest, easiest way to make sure your motorcycle chain is adjusted properly. With nothing more than a $15 tool and some wrenches you can get rid of that annoying wobbling, drifting and chain stretching that comes from riding with an improperly aligned chain.

    Great information and video. What you said about the axle plates came true for me. An older biker than me told me to look for perfect center on the rear sprocket and chain. Don't worry about the adjusters being even.

    @albertstabelli5869 it’s an often overlooked piece of advice, people say just look at the adjusters and never realize they aren’t the full picture of alignment

    Thanks brotha! If you use the link in my description it helps the channel but beyond that the feedback like this is what it’s all about man, I didn’t have a mentor in this when I got started so I’m trying to fill that gap for people who are in the same boat

    Thanks for sharing this. I've done all of my adjustments at the axle while trust the manufacturer got everything symmetrically perfect. Now I'm gonna have to get one of those tools too. Could certainly use one right now.

    I replaced the alignment rod with a 1/8" drill bit that's about 4"-5" longer than the original rod The longer rod makes it easier to see misalignment/alignment.

    That’s a good question, if you give me the width of the belt in question I could tell you whether the opening on the tool is big enough

    "Coat the entire chain with lube" and the tyre 👎 Use a piece of cardboard to stop the aforementioned.... Takes longer, but if you like leaning over...

    Can’t imagine why that would be. Everything is out in the open. No covers, gaskets to change, stuff in the way etc. If this is a nightmare to maintain I can’t imagine what you’re riding that’s easier lol

    Correct. I can’t tell you what the spec would be for your particular bike but in all honesty I just crank it down as tight as I can and lock it up with a cotter pin
