Thanks for the video. I just followed my owners manual to adjust the slack, and I was looking for a visual confirmation that I did it right.
The video was a big help and I like the wrench trick! Thank you for sharing.
I also have this same bike and now I feel much more confident that I wont have any issues.
My chain almost flew off, this guide helped me and my dad fix the slack, thanks!!
I always double check chain slack with my weight on the bike. Occasionally you will find the chain under tension which is not good for bearings. Lots of cycles will lose at least some of that 3/4" free play when on the ground with the riders weight on them.
Thanks for the help. Having a hard time finding a front tire for this exact bike...can I use a 90/90-18 to replace an 80/90?
How do you align the rear wheel?
Unfortunately, on that motorcycle the slack in the chain changes pretty dramatically as the swingarm moves. The center of the front and back sprocket and the swingarm pivot do not come close to a straight line. The swingarm pivot is way too high. It leaves a lot of slack when the bike doesn't have weight on it but, I don't think there's a way out of adjusting the chain so it doesn't go too tight with the rear shocks compressed. Not a good design.
Boys should I try this or just let my guy do it? I bet I can get it close but I don’t wanna go sideways down here he road lol
What about the brake?
