  • chain adjuster stuck!

    I believe I over tightened it so when I took the nut off the plate itself is still stuck in the swing arm. Any suggestions on how to get it off without wrecking it? I was thinking of putting a chisel through the spindle hole then tap it out with a hammer.

    I think a very small tap with a hammer will get it loose .

    FYI the rear bolt needs to be tightened with 45nm

      Replace them with aluminum capped adjusters from another bike, like the bandits, RFs, or SVs.

      The stock steel plate is bad for doing exactly that... pulling into the end of the arm. You have the right idea on getting it out if it's stuck that bad.

        The manual says 65NM no?
