I can't seem to get this right... ???..anybody have any tips for setting the chain tension on a 07' M695? I've seen 3 different specs, measuring it on the side stand, rear stand. There must be an easy way to do this.....
I just go off the manual:
Tensioning the drive chain: Turn the rear wheel slowly to find the position at which the chain is at its most taut. With the motorcycle resting on its sidestand, push the chain with your finger in correspondence with the mid point if the swingarm The lower run of the chain should deflect by approximately 25 to 27 mm. To adjust the tension. Loosen the axle nut and screw in the adjuster screws on both sides of the swingarm by the same amount to tighten the chain or unscrew them to slacken it. In the latter case, you will need to push the wheel forward.
What exactly is causing you difficulty?
I got it right finally. I was having trouble getting it in spec, i was always to tight or way to loose. thanks for the help.
