What to Do When a Motorcycle Chain Stretches?
1 Answers
Use a chain breaker to cut the chain. Place the chain into the slot of the chain breaker, then rotate the handle to push the pin out of the chain link. Lift the rear wheel and loosen the transverse screw in the middle of the rear wheel. Loosen the fixing bolts on both adjustment screws, turn them backward a few turns, and observe the chain tension while adjusting. Once the tension feels appropriate, adjust both sides evenly. Tighten the fixing bolts on the adjustment screws to prevent the rear wheel axle from moving forward, which could cause the chain to loosen again.
