If the chain is too loose, turn in the
left and right chain adjusters evenly.
•
If the chain is too tight, turn out the
left and right chain adjusters evenly.
•
Turn both chain adjusters evenly
until the drive chain has the correct
amount of slack. To keep the chain
and wheel properly aligned, the left
wheel alignment indicator should
align with the same swingarm mark
that the right wheel alignment indica-
tor aligns with.
