Chain slack

[Duran]

Just did a search on how much chain slack we should have but came up blank, how much slack do you run?

[Mick_J]

Book says 20-30mm, generally set mine to 25mm.

30 mm.

Does everybodys swing arm close up that last little bit and put more tension on the chain ?
Seem to take me a few goes to get it right.

stick a rag between chain and rear sprocket. just jam it in by turning wheel. problem solved. have a google for better explanation. 30mm is good, keep the strain off bearings.

20-30mm as per what the manual says, but if you have jack-ups add another 5mm as with jackups you need a little more slack
