banshdog Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 ur manual has easy step by step guidelines w/pics. about 1/2 way up ur swing arm, the chain should move something like 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch (the exact #'s are in the manual). to tighten first you gotta loosen the 4 bolts, loosen the lock nuts, and turn in the adjustment screws. be sure to turn them the same amount so your axle stays lined up correctly. and dont forget to tighten the lock nuts again.

sredish Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 yep, that's more or less it. I usually look for 3/4 to 1 inch in slack with my weight on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
