Rear Chain Adjustment
|
|
|
|
This adjustment is made by movement of the rear
wheel. Fig. C49 shows the adjustment points.
Proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
1
|
Slacken the rear wheel spindle nuts (A).
|
|
2
|
Release the chain adjuster locknuts (B).
|
|
3
|
Pull downwards on the bottom run of the chain to
bring the spindle hard up against the adjusters
(C).
|
|
4
|
Turn each adjuster an equal amount until, with
the rider seated, there is a total up and down
movement, measured in the centre of the bottom
chain run of 3/4 in. to 1 in. (19.05 to 25.4 mm).
|
|
5
|
Tighten securely the adjuster locknuts (B).
|
|
6
|
Tighten the wheel spindle nuts and recheck the
adjustment in at least three places. Should there
prove to be a tight spot, readjust to give the
correct up and down movement at this point.
|
|

|
Finally, recheck rear brake adjustment as in
Section H13.
