| Simple maintenance questions
I have covered my chain tension instructions (I know pretty stupid of me) with a swingarm protector & now want to adjust the chain tension & wondered if someone would post what it says on the label.
According to my handbook my chain is way too tight but it was adjusted by the dealer at it's last service nearly a year ago & I remember checking it to the label & not thinking there was a problem.
Other one is brake pad wear. The handbook mentions a brake wear groove & also 1mm min. My brake pads don't seem to have this groove & I am wondering if it has worn off or whether there wasn't a groove in the first place. I have also noticed that my brake pads have 2 different sizes of friction material stuck to the metal back plate but they seem to be fitted randomly. Can anyone tell me whether the large friction pad should be at the top or the bottom?
How do you remove the brake pad retaining clip? Do I just pull in the direction of the arrow once I have removed the caliper from the bike? |
