Adjusting Yamaha Fazer 600 chain

Hi,

My chain was rather (OK, very) slack so I've adjusted it, but not
having done it before I have no real 'feel' for whether it's right.

I have about half and inch of movement in the middle of the long bit;
that's half an inch from the top to the bottom of its travel, not half
an inch either way.

Do you reckon this is OK ? I ask because the suspension is fairly
soft on these bikes and I wondered if half an inch was enough.

Cheers

I'd go for an inch, meself. That's with the bike on the sidestand,
after bouncing the suspension. Better a bit loose than too tight,
mind.

You may find a handy reference sticky label on the swinging arm, right
next to the chain that gives the measurement and how to take it.

 

35mm slack with it on the main stand

Thanks guys....probably a bit tight then. I'll slacken it off a tad
tomorrow.
