[QUOTE="woodsripper, post: 25777, member: 20899"] HGilliam is right. I adjust my chain similar to the way he describes. The resulting slack is quite loose when the bike is on a stand or kickstand. Regarding the owner's manual illustration, my adjustment method yielded about 11 mm of space bewteen the chain and swingarm at the bottom rear end of the chain buffer. This is with the bike on the kickstand as shown in the owner's manual. I agree with HGilliam, better a little loose than too tight. I have used Maxima Chain Wax for years and it seems to work well. I always get a full year of muddy riding out of my chain and sprockets (it is always muddy here). I do not do any thing special to the chain and I do powerwash my bikes. I believe the chain wax provides an additional barrier on the chain o-rings, which in turn helps to preserve the grease built into the chain. I like that the wax dries and is not greasy when handling the chain. My kids would forever have greasy chain prints on their hands if I was using a oily or sticky lube. ------------------ Can't wait to ride my bike, JP '01 KTM 400 EXC '95 KTM 300 EXC (sold) '89 Kick Ten Minutes 600 LC4 (too much bike for the woods) [/QUOTE]
