Thank you. I have a moto-jack ,not a full blown paddock but I tried your steps and loosened the chain. The showroom guys are worthless, last servicing they over tightened the chain, I loosened it myself today and did it first time in my life. Your video helped me immensely.

Thanks for making this video mate! Especially for mentioning how to tell if the chain is too lose or too tight by the sound of it. I've tightened mine to the spec (so I thought) and it was making screeching sounds. I'm pretty sure it's too tight for its own good.

Need to mention how to accurately measure the slack in the chain. With the bike on the side stand, and you push up on the bottom chain at the second support the chain should be .2-.28 inches from touching the swing arm. The chain on these bikes actually runs pretty tight I feel. (owner manual specifications)

Neat video, really comprehensive, thanks for sharing, wish I had seen it earlier. My last ride from Mumbai - Goa and return, I struggled with a loose chain on the return journey, was a real bother. With a little practice and training this should be a good spot fix for anyone to carry out. 2 quick questions: 1. Not everyone will own a paddock stand, any alternate solution to how to do the same procedure without the stand? 2. Can the same operation be carried out on any chain driven bike? Thanks again, happy riding, Cheers...
@rvkvikas9 жыл бұрын
Kayomarz Bacha Thank you very much for watching the video my friend and I am glad you liked the video. Yes, learning this procedure is very important for us. Will take only a little practice.. Yes, even without a Paddock stand, we can do this, we will need help of a friend to hold the motorbike and bend it towards and on to the side stand, that will lift the rear wheel up and we can do the required process... Yes, this process is almost the same on most of the motorbikes with a chain. Hope you enjoy my other videos also and hope you have subscribed to the channel. Have a nice week ahead.

One question. Is it best to loosen the wheel nut before placing the bike on the paddock stand? To much force and the bike falls off? And how tight should I fasten the wheel nut after I have tightened the chain? Alex
@rvkvikas9 жыл бұрын
Alexander Hauge That is a very nice question! Yes, I did exactly the same. I loosened the wheel nut just a little before placing the bike on the stand.. The proper process to tighten the wheel nut is to use a Torque Wrench, however, most of us do not own one, so I did not use that in the video. You should apply only moderate pressure on the wheel nut and feel the torque, the moment you feel it is tight enough and would not come off, you should just stop. Thank you!
