urbanassult Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have never had a bike with a chain tensioner do just want to make sure I have the chain adjusted properly. So how do you do it? I'm gonna put a new chain on it so the procedure from start to finish would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrcmonty Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) There are some How 2 Videos, on Trials UK's web site. They are a Site Sponsor, and their Banner usually pops up at the top or to the right of the Main screen. There is a Good to follow how 2 video for Chain adjusments on there, i actually think the picture in the banner is of that actuall video.

chewy Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 So long as you have about 20mm of up and down movement at the slack/middle of the lower chain run ..you will need to overide the chain tensioner spring force . I have made some snail cams with quite a big "click" between actual stop positions which make it practically impossible to overtension the chain. Too loose it might come off/rattle... too tight may damage g.box output brgs so it's best to err on slack rather than tight. Not sure about the affect of climate conditions on Hawai though!
