Chain Adjuster Bolts Seized - Curvy - SV650.org

JamesMio · 25-02-09, 01:35 PM

Trying to tighten my chain up and the right hand side adjuster screw/bolt is solid. It 'might' be at the end of it's adjustment, but the big problem is that I've chewed the end off it now and am going to need to resort to violence to get it out.

The bike's booked in for an emergency bodge fix tomorrow to shorten the chain so that I can get my IAM Test done on Saturday morning, does anyone happen to know what size the adjuster bolts are? If I can get hold of something to replace it with after butchering it that'd be a good start I suppose.

Cheers 'Org,
JM
