Hi Guys,

Do you know how to adjust the chain on my bike because it feels to loose to me.
Thank you for your comments. [roll]

Owner's manual tells you how to check the chain tension; do that first.

To adjust the chain, you need an eccentric hub chain adjustment spanner wrench for this purpose. Look around on eBay, and get the cheapest one you can find. Then follow the instructions described in the owner's manual. Piece of cake.

Thanks for the information. [thumbsup]
Yes, I saw the owners manual but does not tell you much, actually tells you go to the dealer.
