[dsn_klr650] chain adjustment on klr600
Posted: Sun May 07, 2000 6:18 pm
Loosen the two Allen bolts at the rear of each end of the swingarm, put a wrench on the right (if I remember correctly) end of the axle, twist until the desired slack is achieved, and then tighten the Allen bolts. (Adjusting the slack is much easier on the 600 than 650.) How much is enough slack? Opinions differ (see the archives), but you should be OK if you rotate the wheel until the chain is at its tightest point and then adjust it so that when you lift the lower run, it does not quite touch the swingarm.
