Step 2: Inspecting the Chain Tension

Place your motorcycle on a stable surface and locate the chain tension adjusters near the rear wheel. Loosen the axle nuts and check the current tension of the chain.

Step 3: Adjusting the Chain

Rotate the rear wheel and observe the chain movement. Use the wrench to adjust the tension by turning the adjusters clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen. Ensure the tension is even on both sides.

Step 4: Testing and Fine-Tuning

After making adjustments, tighten the axle nuts and perform a final check on the chain tension. Press down on the middle of the chain to verify it moves approximately 0.8 to 1.2 inches under moderate pressure.

Step 5: Maintenance Tips

  • Regularly clean and lubricate the chain to enhance longevity and performance.
  • Check the chain tension every 500 miles or as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Inspect the sprockets for wear and tear and replace them if needed to ensure optimal function.
