Posted: 21:50 - 06 Mar 2012 Post subject: chain tensioning on side stand |
|
|
is it possible to adjust the chain on my bike whilst its on the side stand or do i need to get a paddock stand?
the owners manual says jack it up or put it on a block then loosen the rear axle.
any advice would be appreciated, as i dont have a paddock stand or jack, cant see where i could lift the bike on one either.

Not impossible, but could be dangerous as it might be possible to accidentally knock the bike off the side-stand whilst working at the rear..
Ideally, you need to rotate the back wheel a few times whilst making adjustments, to make sure you have no tight spots in the chain, and that the alignment is good.
It's a lot easier with the bike upright, with the rear wheel off the ground - but if available for your model, a permanently fitted centre stand might be an alternative for a paddock stand. ____________________ Honda Varadero XL125(V8)

i took the plunge and did it, using the marks on the swingarm to make sure its straight and only turning each adjuster a 1/4 turn each alternately.... to be on the safe side.
not easy lubing the chain either, may have to invest in a paddock stand in the long run.
thanks for the advice ____________________ --Current Bike: '98 Hornet CB600F
