Re: [ST] 99 sprint st chain adjusting question



Welcome Stephen.

>From the owners manual (you can also search the list at triumphnet.com)

- Rotate the rear wheel to find the position where the chain is
tightest, and measure the vertical movement of the chain midway
between the spockets.

- The vertical movement of the chain must be 1.4 - 1.6 inches (35-40mm)

- Loosen the clamp bolt which secures the rear hub/eccentric adjuster
to the swing arm

- Using the 'C' spanner supplied in the motorcycle tool kit, turn the
rear hub/eccentric adjuster (clockwise to loosen, anti-clockwise to
tighten) until the drive chain is correctly adjusted.

- Tighten the rear hub/eccentric adjuster clamp bolt to 55 Nm

- Rotate the rear wheel and repeat the chain adjustment check
