Chain Adjustment
On a 1988 XT600 Tenere (3AJ),
Just a quick question, I am a big guy and have the suspension set on the firm side which I like, I have no problems with the handling, but I do have problems with the chain adjustment.
I pressume you measure the chain tension with myself sat on the bike, the problem I have that with the type of adjustment on the bike the chain is either too tight or too lose, I can't set it in between because of the adjuster.
Is it better to have it tight or lose, is there something I can do about this?
Do I need to by a new chain and sprockets etc?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Oh and another question - I would like to make the throttle shorter, is there any way I can use a quick throttle type device, such as they use in Motocross, if so where can I find one of these?
