Hello people,


This is probaby the 10th person asking. How to measure the chain slack. As the manual says, measure 50-60mm of the lower bottom of the chain, by pushing it up and down.
But when I try to measure the chain, bike standing on the side stand and unloaded, the chain is pressed to the swingarm, long before I measure the 50-60mm.
So, how do I get the true reading? As one person suggested, I just measure the slack with the unloaded bike upright, no side stand and adjust the chain so that the chain just barely (by one mm) doesnt touch the rubber roller. But then, the
chain seems really loose.

So, can anyone clearify it for me? (Xt660z)

It's been covered before and there are many threads. Here is one of the most recent threads:

If it doesn't answer all your questions, then just get back to us here or enter "chain slack" or "chain adjustment" in the forum search.
