Guys if i remember correctly then it isnt the arm but the torque that you do it up to as it needs to be semi loose to allow for chain stretch and swingarm movement otherwise could snap in half.


Am i right???

I think you are not totally right  :\ . Swinging arm movement is not a factor as swinging arm, torque arm and caliper all move together with no relative movement. When it come to chain adjustment you are a little bit correct in that the torque arm bolts should be slackened off to allow for the small relative angle change. Very minimal on the front mounting, torque arm to swinging arm, but I always slacken that one as well. Then remember to tighten them up again after chain adjustment.
