Hey all! I just got a TE 630, and need some advice.....How in the heck do you adjust the drive chain? On a center stand, on the ground, on the side stand? The sticker and the USB manual really suck! It says .47" slack and it appears to be mid measured way on the swing arm. This can be because there all these guides and rollers which get in the way. My LC4 is really simple, this isn't. Thanks for any input.
On my 630 i adjust the chain so that i have a little slack when the swing arm is paralel to the ground.At that point you have the longest distance between the front and rear sprocket and this is where the chain is on the tightest point. I take a tie down strap and pull the bike down, and then adjust. The sticker on the bike and manual says 12mm gap between the swing arm and chain. But nothing about if this when the bike is loaded or not. I have tried to adjust the slack to 12 mm unloaded, but then it got tight as a piano string when the bike got loaded.
Thanks! I sorta did the dame but sat on it and reached down to see if it was tight. I like your idea. I am fising to put a bigger rear sprocket, so this will help. Thanks.
This message board doesnt let you edit.....i meant to say i sorta did the SAME thing. Anyways, thanks for the reply.
