Default Re: Chain Adjustment Question

I agree with Chris, make sure you give the wheel a good boot to ensure the adjusters are sitting true, especially if the wheel is on the deck, when adjusting mine I will use a paddock stand and re check the chain tension after I have removed it, I also sit on the bike when I check as your weight will add extra tension to the chain. I would recomend that your chain is a better a tad loose than a tad tight. If it is slightly loose it still wont come off and as long as your are smooth with your gear changes it wont have a diverse effect on transmission, as previously stated. However if it is over tight it could snap, causing much damage to the engine block and possibly your leg. Believe me I know, I learnt the hard way! Lol.
