help needed adjusting chain!

[chris___]

The chain on my bike (rxs100) is to slack, can someone please give me some advice on adjusting it?! Is is just a case of buying a link extractor? Or is there another way? Any advice much appreciated!

Cheers

Chris

Use the chain adjuster.

Do a search on here, I'm sure it's been discussed many times.

At end of swingarm are 2 screw adjusters, one either side. You need to undo the wheel nut and tighten the 2 adjusters, making sure you keep the rear wheel lined up. If they are already adjusted up to the hilt then you'll need a new chain.

hi
could i ask firstly , have you done a cbt course recently ?

i only ask this , as what you are asking should have been covered on the course ..

cheers and happy chain management garry

It probably was coverd. However they cover it before you get on the bike, at which point most learners are too busy crapping themselves worrying if they can remember which lever does what, than listening to some old bloke talk about something they might possibly have to do at some point in the future

I did my cbt 6 months ago and wasnt told anything like that. The instructor was shit and just stood smoking while i tryed to work out the clutch and gears etc. Needsless to say I dint use the same instructor for my A2 course.
