Sooooo I decided to clean and adjust the chain on my fazer today, as it was a new chain on purchase and its feeling a little snatchy/slack. Was a tad apprehensive as it's been 7 years -+ since I've done it! And I hope it's ok!! So I'm just guna run through what I've done so please advise if it sounds like garbage!!!!! Ok so I Put the bike up on centre stand with some weights on the seat , looked at the chain play and as suspected a bit too flappy, fought the main wheel nut loose ( nightmare tight by previous owner ) stood looking at the adjuster bolts for 10 mins trying to remember the logical way to turn them both to tighten the slack out the chain, worked out clockwise eventually
loosened 1st bolts on either side, then turned adjuster bolts clockwise on both sides as evenly as possible until the chain felt a little tighter, I didn't measure it but just eye and feel judged the tension as was an improvement on before. The adjuster lines on the swing are pretty closely matched both sides and the gap between the large washer behind the main wheel nut and the back end of the swing arm look identical on both sides so fingers crossed Ive done this right ?
Find out tomorrow morning....
