punch marks on chain adjusters

<< < (2/2)

MIKE550/4:
got a better understanding now, I can see marks top and bottom on chain adjusters after having a better look, so don't think it matters which way

ok another query, I can see marks faintly on the swingarm perhaps 6 lines vertical

I take it you align marks with chain adjuster and swingarm furthest into the swingarm and then fit chain and pull back wheel to take up slack for length of chain?

will put some pics up tomorrow to confirm

thanks for input learning all the time

These are what are being discussed in the above posts.
Put your wheel on, put the chain on and adust the slack. The marks on the swinging arm are to ensure the rear wheel is aligned.
I never trust those marks either and use the string to check mine.

MIKE550/4:
I see so a guide only for wheel alignment..... just re read all the posts, I was concentrating more on using it for chain adjustment

Bryanj:
Mike, they are for chain adjustment. You move the wheel the same number of marks each side AFTER you have the wheel alignment right
