chain adjustment

[stranger12]

Hi Guys,

I have a sym 125xs and sometime when trying to adjust the chain , i get really confused on how to adjust the chain and make sure the wheel is aligned

looking at the references (the metal refs) the wheel wheel looks ok and aligned but i think because i have either overtighten the nut or cheap quality of the metal, some part of where the washer sits on is dented thus you can not see the lines on the metals.

I have used rulers to measure the gap between the end of the metal and the nut edge on both side but this is not accurate. looking from behind i am a bit of paranoid and think it is not straight

Any ways you suggest ? does it have to be dead accurate , what are the consequences if it is not

would it drop you ?

thanks

Measure distance from centre of swingarm spindle to centre of wheel spindle. Check indicators agree or by how much they disagree. Tighten chain by turning both adjusters either clockwise or in some cases anticlockwise. If slackening chain, adjust too far to make chain really slack and then adjust in tightening direction.

Adjust by turning nut or bolt head by one flat or point at a time( 1/6 of a turn)
