How to Adjust Motorcycle Chain Tension

Materials Needed:

  • Wrench set
  • Chain lubricant
  • Motorcycle stand
  • Ruler or tape measure
  • Clean cloth

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Motorcycle.
    Park the motorcycle on a flat surface and, if possible, use a motorcycle stand to keep it stable. Turn off the engine and ensure the motorcycle is secure.

  2. Locate the Chain.
    Find the drive chain on the side of the rear wheel. Check if it has any visible signs of wear or damage.

  3. Measure the Chain Slack.
    Using a ruler or tape measure, check the amount of slack by pressing down on the chain’s middle section. The recommended slack is usually between 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm), but refer to your motorcycle manual for the specific measurement.

  4. Loosen the Axle Nut.
    Use a wrench to slightly loosen the rear axle nut on both sides of the wheel. This will allow you to adjust the chain tension easily.

  5. Adjust the Tension.
    Turn the chain adjusters located on either side of the rear wheel. To increase tension, turn the adjusters clockwise; to decrease it, turn counterclockwise. Make sure both sides are adjusted evenly to avoid misalignment.

  6. Check the Slack Again.
    Measure the slack again after adjusting. Make sure it falls within the recommended range. If it’s still too loose or tight, readjust the chain tension as necessary.

  7. Tighten the Axle Nut.
    Once the chain is properly adjusted, tighten the axle nut securely using the wrench.

  8. Lubricate the Chain.
    Spray chain lubricant evenly along the chain while rotating the rear wheel. This will help keep the chain running smoothly and prevent wear.

  9. Final Check.
    Give the chain a final check to ensure everything is properly aligned and tightened. Clean any excess lubricant or dirt from the surrounding area with a clean cloth.
