Re: First time chain adjustment
Any connection between this and the "disaster" thread?

Re: First time chain adjustment
Just got the Handbook out to check and for my K6 the axle nut should be tightened to 100 Nm if that helps?

Re: First time chain adjustment
I would trust the Suzuki Handbook before the Haynes manual myself but I know very little about bikes.
Newbie/Numpty question - Do you turn the adjusters clockwise? |

Re: First time chain adjustment
I wish I had read this thread a few hours ago,
seeing that my marker plates either side weren't lined up exactly earlier this evening, I decided to adjust, only to discover that the there is a bit of play on the marker plates, once the rear nut is loosened. Then spent the next hour fretting about the alignment (wish I had read Big Apes post) and letting my battery go nearly flat....dooohhhh!! Does anyone double check the alignment with string or a straight edge or is this going overboard??

Re: First time chain adjustment
Be careful not to bend the alignment marker things and scratch the swingarm; it's easily done if you loosen too quickly.
