Chain slack

[rlachermeier]

How much slack should there be in the chain? I thought it was between 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Mine has got to be close to 1 inch.

Snug it up... chains stretch.

Consult yer manual.

Dont have one?


We DO.

if you ride aggressive, keep it loose, it will need the extra slack when the swingarm comes up - tip learned trackside

IIRC, it's 20 - 30 mm ( 1" being 25.4 mm). I'd keep it at 1". 1/2" is almost guarantee you gonna stretch it in some places.
