Very Easy and Simple Motorcycle Chain Adjustment [Single Sided Swingarm]

This video will save you hundreds of dollars just by doing your own Ducati Monster single sided swingarm chain adjusting maintenance. As shown in the video, you’ll need is your Ducati Monster’s service manual, a special Ducati hook span adjuster and a few other common tools. Please refer to your Service Manual for the proper mileage interval required to adjust. The Ducati single sided swingarm is synonymous with the Italian Motorcycle brand and it’s not just for show. For example, it makes it easy to adjust your chain tension, remove/replace your rear tire and change your rear brake pads. Oh yeah, sprocket changes are a breeze too!

FYI, you can change your wheel base and ride height by a small amount depending on where you rotate that eccentric hub. If you're looking at the bike from the kickstand side, adjust the hub to 9 O'clock would shorten the wheel base. 3 O'clock would lengthen it. 12 would lower the bike slightly. 6 would raise it. This sort of thing is important to professional racers where every millimeter of geometry change affects handling.

[@ClutchFirst]

MotoErgoSum Just one question. When and are you ever going to upload anymore vids? You’ve got a lot of detailed information that would be very useful to share. You couldn’t have said it any better and it’s always great to see you on the channel.

[@jasonleacock5971]

When your adjusting chain, you need to check that measurement of free play in multiple spots. It might not make sense however you’ll notice that it’s actually tighter and looser in some spots as you check slack at diff positions. Make sure your adjusting it based on those findings or replace chain

[@SmokeNYC]

Hey Mike! Thanks for all the tip and advice. Can't wait to get home and put in some work. Great video!

I see this video is 4 hrs old. Do you still have your Monster 796 abs ? I just got one & don’t see good Videos ? I like your Videos, I have questions. I used to race in the 1970’s & 1980’s & have not had a bike nor ridden in a while. More Maintenance Vodeos please

[@ClutchFirst]

I sure do. I've added several new motorcycles to my stable and stored the Monsters in my garage. There's a ton more new vids on the channel. Subscribe to help the channel grow. I do more maintenance work. three days ago I uploaded an hour long install on my Hyper SP.

@@ClutchFirst No worries bro, been a subscriber of yours for some time now - great vids!

[@michunel7022]

Why don't you show the distance between chain and swingarm? I'm sure It became less then 61mm after your adjustment. When between 61 and 63 it really feels too loose, which is really confusing.

[@GeorgeVizaniaris]

I am looking to the manual and cannot find the number :/ What is the stock Ring Gear number? I am looking to change it for a bigger one is it z39?

[@ClutchFirst]

George Vizaniaris I believe the stock gearing is 14T in the front and 40T in the rear. I’ll check and confirm for you when I get a chance.

What's the name of the background music ?

[@portofly94]

Hey, bro. Is that hook span adjuster special? or could i use the one I've got for adjusting my car's coilovers?

[@ClutchFirst]

Omar Jurado Woelz Hey, welcome to the channel and glad you found the vid helpful. Personally I wouldn’t recommend using anything else from the specific Ducati tool. Ducati’s are temperamental and if something goes wrong, it will cost you a lot. Besides, that tool is not super expensive.

[@McKersin]

Dope video man. Where'd you get your chain from. Love the gold accent on the black.

[@ClutchFirst]

McKersin Previlus It’s an EK 3D premium chain. You can grab one from motovationusa.com. Use coupon code ‘clutch1st’. Also let them know you’re coming from the channel.
