[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1195662, member: 17212"] I did not read what Eric Gorr says. I posted what the official Yamaha service manual says. :coocoo: In regard to double checking your chain at the tightest point. My information comes from 40+ years in the industry. From that experience, I know that not all bikes are the same when it comes to the placement of the swingarm pivot bolt in relation to the countershaft sprocket pivot point. That along with the location of chain rollers on most bikes will change where the chain is at the tightest point through the stroke. On some bikes the chain becomes tight when you first push on the rear of the bike and then becomes looser as it bottoms out. On some bikes the chain is loose at the top and gets tighter as the suspension bottoms out. On some bikes the chain is loose at the top and gets tighter in the middle of the stroke and then loose again at the bottom of the stroke. It all depends on the location of the pivot points. :bang: By making a blanket statement like you did could cause someone to adjust their chain wrong and cause damage to their bike. Please, know what you are talking about before posting answers. I realize you are only trying to help. But, you are not helping by posting wrong information and then wanting to argue about it if someone calls you on it. This only drags the quality of DRN down to the level of most internet sites. We pride ourselves on being a site where people can come and get accurate information and not have to put up with a bunch of kids arguing over who's right and who's wrong. I am going to ask you one more time to stop adding incorrect information to my posts. If you would shut up for long enough, you might learn something. :| [/QUOTE]
