chain adjustment

[Southwend]

can't locate the manual.
2 quick questions,

1. adjust chain on centerstand or kick stand?

2. adjust to what degree of slack?

Thanks in advance

Center stand.

ferret posted a "how to" on chain adjustment.

How To adjust the chain on the CB1100

Center stand.

There is a how to on this. Look for Ferret's How To for the 600 mile check.

I think too, its on the sticker on the swingarm.

OK, Curly posted just as I did...

And ... in my opinion, it's better at the tighter end of spec.

Not sure what you mean by better but for me I like the chains loose. You have to account for suspension compression to calculate the true play in the chain. For a big dude like me I compress the suspension alot so a tight chain puts a lot of stress on the driveline components.

My experience has been that the gearbox feels a great deal smoother when the chain is at the tighter end of spec. It gets clunkier as it loosens. I'm a smaller dude so I go for tighter.

I find this as well. No roll-on roll-off clunks, no banging into gear from neutral and no hard shifts. I've always kept mine at the tighter end of the spec.

So it's agreed? Tighter for the smaller riders and looser for the larger!
