nayruf Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hi Type 'motorcycle chain adjustment' into youtube and take your pick, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirriePete Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The SR has probably the simplest chain adjustment method on the planet - slacken off the axle nuts then turn the snail cam adjusters towards the thicker end one notch at a time each side until the chain is at the correct tension. What are snail cams? These things: Correct tension? When the chain is visible in the wee cutout slot in the plastic chaincase. Then tighten up the axle nuts again & give the chain a splash of lube - job jobbed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoltons Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Exactly as KirriePete says - I have a 99 SR125 and that is exactly right - the bottom of the chain should be at the bottom of the window - just. There will be a littke space above the chain in the window. Any more help needed just send me a message. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
