Posted on By chop
This is how I adjust my chain on my bike. And, I do it all in my slippers 🙂

Do you put anything on the exhaust where the silencer is clamped when you are putting it back on?
Great. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Paul, which saddlebag protector is that. I can't find it online. Thank you. Joe
It makes me wonder how… when I take it in to the shop, they seem to finish the chain clean and adjust in like 15 minutes. Pro's are very fast I guess. (Or most likely? it was within spec?) Now thanks to the video I know whether or not to ask for an adjust on the chain. Thanks.
Great info thanks!
Thanks great tutorial :)
Great video! The only suggestion I have is to gently snug the adjusted screws down after you have torqued the axle nut down. Manual states to do it, and it prevents the axle from moving forwards or backwards over time.
Yea found this very helpful thanks!!
Love the magnet trick.  I now keep a magnet stuck on my throttle bodies so it's always within arm's reach.  2 comments: (1) Get that ruler running perpendicular to the chain when measuring, not vertical. (2) You need to lightly seat (hand tighten – 5Nm) those adjustment screws after your axle is tightened down. Says to do so in the manual.  Very helpful video.  Thanks!!
Thanks mate, I found my problem from your video, I wasn't looking for the tightest spot in the chain and I returning my America back to its stand before final tightening. Going to make my own chain eyesight level, brilliant.
Thanks
Helpful videos, thank you for posting.
Very helpful. Thanks much.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Incredibly helpful. 
Great info man! I appreciate it!
very helpful video thanks very much
Thanks
Good Info, thanks.
I dealt with rear chain for forty years and now that my bike has belt drive, one less maintenance.
.
Very useful! Thanks for making this video!
bella :)
Thanks again for this one! Who would have thought there was a special alignment tool!
Nice video! Thanks
Nice video! Thanks
Thank You! Wish you were around when I use to own my 2009 Royal Enfield… this would have been great when I was starting out with chain bikes! Great Video!! 🙂
You're amazing! Good video, my friend!
thank you!
Done. Please see my latest video on my channel on how to change oil and air filter.
I went to 16t with 90 series tire [ taller the fact 80 series ].. 4000 rpm at 62 mph .. pulls strong from 1800rpm in 5th to 105+ mph ..carb 2002 model
lock washer ..can be used 4-5 times as diff areas can be bent back over ..36mm socket electric impact will work on nut reg twist on off ..nut cut out goes inside to clear shaft.. no need to flatten washer as it needs the contour to clear .. slight lube on spline .. , in gear and rear brake on will help lock up the chain .. torque 100 ft lbs , channel lock to bend washer .. check the wires are clear of cover ,
Thanks for your input on this Katana258. I find that I like to try different things to see how it works for me, and this is one of the cheapest mods one can do, it cost me $25. I love to work on my bike, and on a rainy week-end it won't take long to install this. If I feel that I don't like it, then the next rainy week-end I will change it back. That's the beauty of it. Thanks again and Ride safe.
did it on t-100 would not pull rpm over 95 mph and in town down shifting 2 gears down …can stall in first if you do not rev it up and slip clutch …worthless mod. .unless your on interstate..at 70mph all day long ..better with 18 t or go to 17t for low speed 5th gear less down shifting and if any hills no down shifting ..
Thank you for showing the most clearly explained Bonnie chain adjustment tutorial I have yet seen. Didn't completely understand it until I watched your vid.
Also, will def. make myself one of the wooden block direction indicators like yours.
Excellent video. Please keep posting this type of tutorials! Maybe an oil or air filter change with a clear step by step.
Nice video very clear and precise thanks.
Yup, I am definitely going to be doing this mod as well, probably not until next year though as I have to do some road tests on my bike at the end of June so I will keep that part stock. I am anxious to try out the new sprocket on the highways. Watch for the video.
Not sure if u made the change, but about a how to change the counter shaft sprocket. I purchased a 19 tooth to replace the 18 tooth.
Excellent video
