| chain adjustment
I know this is an old subjuct but ...
I have had my 748 now for three years and have done many chain adjustments, but have always wondered if I have been doing it right.
I have been told that I should adjust my chain while the bike is on the padock stand, were others tell me that I should adjust it whilst the bike is on it's side stand.
As I understand it there should be about 1" of play at the tightest part of the chain.
When should there be 1" of travell? because if I adjust the chain on the padock stand, when I take it off the chain goes tighter, if I adjust the chain when the bike is on the side stand, when I sit on the bike it goes tighter still.
I would of thought that there should be an inch of playin the chain when the person who is riding the bike, is sat on it.
anyone ?????? |
