TECHNICAL CHECK
Chain Tension and Rear-Wheel Alignment
Over-tightening a chain can be as harmful as leaving it too loose. Adjustment follows the manufacturer slack specification.
What is reviewed?
- Chain slack at multiple positions
- Tight links or tight spots
- Rear-axle alignment references
- Assess chain and sprocket wear together
- Wheel free movement after adjustment
Model-specific limit: Chain slack is model-specific and verified from the owner/service information.
