RE: Adjusting Chain



I think a 'one adjustment fits all' is not correct. Chain slack will vary
based on length of swing arm, wheel travel and most importantly sprocket to
swing arm pivot distance. Try to tie down your suspension to get the swing
arm at a right angle with the sprocket (longest run for the chain) I think
you will find that Triumph's recommended tension is right on the money.
