Chain tension
Hi guys,
Ive just adjusted my chain tension for the 1st time, and i think ive got it about right. I was telling a guy at work about the amount of slack ive took up, and he said i should have checked it with me sat on it? is this the case for an SV? or should it be tightened unladen? cheers |

Re: Chain tension
Nope, on the sidestand.
Should be 25-30mm play in it. Remeber to check it at a few different ponts - to look for tight spots.
