Chain adjuster question??
« on: 23 June 2019, 08:08:05 pm »
hey lads removed my rear wheel today to do some cleaning lubricating etc... but with such excitement to be in the shed  :D  I pulled out my chain adjusters from the swingarm not noting what way they came out. I know my left and right. I put them back in as the attached pic shows. hoping someone can tell me if I’m correct or not cheers

Other way round according to the parts book, cast legs facing the wheel on both sides. I don't think it really matters though, LH and RH are the same part number, as long as the stud lines up with the hole in the end cap it wont make any difference.

If you put in in loose you should not see any gaps when you slide it in and out looking at the long ajustment slot from the outside. To see what I mean do it both ways and see the difference   
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Yes that’s the way I have it in now so that there is no gaps either side of the nut if the wheel is full forward or back. I imagined this was correct until I looked at the parts assemble list and it has it the other way. I’m going to leave it as so as it makes more sense. Wonder why the parts list has it that way 😏

I just had another look there and as you are looking in the end of the swing arm you can see top and bottom on the outher side of each leg where the the casting tabs have rubbed over the years from been taking in and out so it must be in right!

Just to confirm that you do have them the right way.  Smile
