How do you check the wheel alignment Aussieflyer?
Townie, I use method B, but I've seen method A used and have wondered whether it is actually correct.
Taking Aussieflyer's and my approach may end up producing a roughly similar result. Using method B, I aim for 25-30 mm of slack as my seat-of-the-pants assessonometer tells me the bike's smoother when the chain is tighter. What would that slack then be if I used method A? Possibly about what Aussieflyer aims for. If I used method A and went for 25 mm of slack, would I end up with a chain that was too tight?
Looking at the illustration in the owners manual leads me to the view that Honda recommends method B. Certainly, if I am aiming for 25mm slack I'd be more inclined to use method B.
Not sure that helps really.
