(08-03-2014, 07:41 PM)The Spaceman_imp Wrote: When my CB doesn't shift as smoothly as I expect, I adjust the chain. More than one owner has noted that the CB is very sensitive to chain adjustment, and an out if adjustment condition manifests itself in sloppy shifting.

I agree with the Spaceman. I keep my chain slack right at 1.25". An eighth more slack and I can feel the difference.
