Driven Axle Block Sliders

[fallenarch]

I ordered a set of these to put on with my new chain and noticed that they do not have any marks on them to use to align the wheel when you adjust the chain. The picture shows them (although I'm not sure what good they do as shown) but the sliders I got don't have the marks. I called the vendor and they said none o fthe ones they had in the store have the marks. Dos anyone have these and do the A) work, and B) how to you aligh the rear wheel?

I was intrigued with these also until I found out that they didn't have adjustment marks...
That is a bummer.

They wont work with my Gilles adjusters! LOL

You'll have to use one of the large frame nuts and measure back to axle center to line it up.
There's folks here who do it that way.

 

[card16969]

measure from the front of the block to where the screw goes into the swingarm as long as it is the same on both sides you are good to go

And if you really think that that is correct, you are wrong!

Here is the most precis way of adjusting the chain!

never said it was the most precise was just stating its another way of doing it, especially without buying a $120 tool

$120 would be a deal, that thing is $399, but it comes with free shipping....
Thanks, I'll stick with close enough the marks on my oem blocks provide.

You could probably make one of those things with nuts and bolts and a threaded rod from Home Depot for ten bucks

 

[fallenarch]

$400 bucks to measure from my swingarm pivot to my axle? You guys are trying to see how stupid I am right?

I'll just fabricate something like it myself. I think I saw on here once where someone did that. Still would be nice to have marks on the axle block for those times on the road when you need to snug up the chain.

That is the most accurate way also. Do you have a link for the tool or most people making them?

Willie I'm curious why you can't score some nice even marks on them yourself?
From your threads I'm sure you're more than capable. Sucks to have to do it but I don't think it should be that hard?

Was thinking about that. When I change the chain Friday I will look at that option. Great minds Blanca :watching:

If you can't figure it out you're gonna have to turn in your Ohlins

You read my mind and Ill be doin just that this weekend. Thinkin some dowel rod with a hole drilled will fit nicely into the axle and frame hole

I have a Motion Pro Chain Alignment Tool that I use on my moms 636 and my gsxr 600. Tried it on the busa and it didn't work. I think its because of the supersprox sprocket.

Don't need alignment marks. Get the right tools.

Shoulda bought one of these years ago.
