Chain Slack Adjustment...Am I Paranoid?
#24
(07-29-2020, 08:39 AM)Cormanus_imp Wrote: Pauley, can you expand on your advice, please? Do you tighten the adjuster bolts clockwise or anti clockwise? The manual says to do it, but I’m never sure which way.

Haystack, I’d have thought it was important to test the slack with weight off the back wheel as sitting in the bike would surely change it. Honda has presumably designed the test to be done with the wheel off the ground.


The chain slack adjust screws have reverse thread; why I don’t know. To tighten the chain or to snug the adjust screws against the axel at the last step I described, you turn counterclockwise.
