As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Hello everyone, I was trying to adjust the chain tention on my gs 750E, (1983). I noticed that marking on the right side is not clear, I can imegine there are many other ways to figure the adjustment; is there a more common method do do this? I read somewhere someone mentioned string method, does anyone know the string method ar better one?.

ard :?:
 
The stringline method is the only method worth bothering with, stock adjustment marks are well known as potenially being way off.
PM me your e-mail address and I will send you an explanation of the stringline method.

is your explanation of the stringline method very lengthy? if not, would you mind posting it here??? thanks Dink
 
Good call, Put my signature on the petition to see the stringline method.
 
hey dink whats wrong with this method. the string deal seam to complicated especial trying it on your own the first time
this is how i do my chain

the way to center your chain on your rear sproket is to get the chain set to proper tension. then sit right behind the rear wheel looking at the side of the sproket head on. you will see the inside of the chian is rubbing up agianst the right or left side of the sproket.

what you need to do is center the chain so that you see some space between both sides of the sproket. (don't let the chain rub on the left or right) you will need to rotate your tire in the drive direction and look to see if there is any spaces. if the chain is pushed to the inside left of the sproket then you need to tighten up the right tension bolt or loosen up the left tension bolt. if the chain is pushed to the inside right of the sproket you will need to tighten the left tensionbolt or loosen the right tension bolt.

this takes some time and practice and you will sooner or later get all the bases covered with haveing the right tension in the chain and the chain being centered on the sproket. rember to rotate the rear wheel ALOT AND OFTEN to let the chain settle in the see if it is centered keep checking every thing as you do this because you can screw up your chain tension as you try to center the chain
