Chain adjustment
Tools required for chain adjustment
•
22 mm wrench or socket
•
2 - 11 mm open-end wrenches
1. Make sure that the
rear wheel is aligned
properly.
2.
For proper
adjustment, the chain
should have 35 mm
free movement just
behind the chain
block with no load on
the bike (Figure 2)
CAUTION:
Sit on the bike and verify
that the chain has a
minimum of 12mm (1/2”) free movement when the chain is at its tightest point.
3.
If the chain requires
adjusting, loosen the axle
with a 22mm wrench, and
loosen the jam nut with an
11mm wrench. Tighten the
chain by rotating the
adjustor bolts clockwise
(CW) or loosen the chain by
rotating the adjustor bolts
(CCW).
4.
Put a rag between the
sprocket and chain, and roll
the wheel backward to pull
the chain adjustor blocks
tightly against the adjustor
bolts (Figure 3).
5. Retighten the axle bolt to 25
ft-lb (34 Nm).
6. Retighten the adjustor jam nuts.
CAUTION:
Always check rear brake adjustment and free-play after adjusting the chain.
