Loose chain, Nut sizes - Mr Jangles_imp - 11-21-2014

I have a little over 6000m now and I just went for a spirited ride and it felt sloppy, I got home and the chain is loose as expected, I need to know what size the 2 rear axle nuts are, I thought I had the right sizes but apparently not.
Thanks for the help!


RE: Loose chain, Nut sizes - Pterodactyl_imp - 11-21-2014

32mm and 27mm. Torque to 83lb.ft. Chain play should be 25 - 35mm.

Cheers

32mm ( right side) and 27mm (left side) for axle nuts on 13 and 8mm for adjuster bolts

Ah well, at least you didn't say "'13 AND a '14". Smile

If the 14's like the 13, the chain feels better at the tighter end of the spec.

I am glad to see that Tortuga is still around !

I'm just glad to know that there's at least one other person who is resisting the temptation, here.

On a matter somewhat related to this thread, I feel like I'm the only CB1100 rider who has never had to adjust his chain. Yes, I suppose the dealer has done so when the bike's been in for oil changes, etc., but I have 14k miles on it and the tension is well within spec. every time I check it.
Probably just jinxed myself, though.

That sounds like when my wife first learned how to drive. After a couple of month we were at a party and she tells friends how great it is to drive and how great the car is I bought for her. After months of driving still the car did not need gasoline.

I stepped in and said dear that is because I fill the tank every Friday for you!

Nothing better than someone else doing it for you, and you not knowing.
