Chain tension?

<< < (2/2)

motodog:
Run your chain slack no tighter than 55mm measure from the back of your chain slider on top of the swing arm to the bottom of the chain - with the bike on a stand (rear wheel off of the ground).  Works great - been racing KX500's since 1985.

littlewing78:
Thanks for the help.  I have it set right at 55mm the way you explained it motodog.  Maybe I will go loosen it a tiny bit.
