Honda CRF300L Chain Adjustment

In this video I adjust the chain for the first time on my Honda CRF300L

[@Stbees111]

I did it exactly the same way, however it was too tight when off the stand. The 50mm should be the slack when it is taking it's own weight.

You have to check the chain and adjust it from the kickstand

Great vid. I've got a thousand miles on mine and the chain seems a bit loose. I'll tighten it up tomorrow...looks like the chain is good for around 5-7K before it needs replacement.

[@lukestringer2177]

you should use the caliper to measure the distance of wheel pin and block the chain ON rear sprocket, with wooden hammer handle when tighten the axle nuts (to keep the wheel from moving forward) sorry for my english

Hi , we need a SUPERPINION ( BEST front sprocket just like SUPERPINION ) for our CRF300L / THX for forward around

I’m about due for my first chain adjustment aswell! Thank you for the solid explanation! Hopefully I don’t fuck this up lmao

Took a photo.
Zoomed in.
Dang!
The guide is drawn in and they measure from the actual swing arm.
Ok!

[@stevepope5484]

?the book does say/top of swing arm?
Dont make sense/ it doesnt ride on the swing arm..?

[@joshtreadway4072]

I hope you can help me real quick. When the chain is where it is tight and where it is supposed to be at, is it supposed to look really loose? leaning on the kickstand.

[@stevepope5484]

Id think youd measure for the chain guide up?

[@omnivore2220]

Sight along the top of the chain, from the top of the rear sprocket, forward, and make sure the chain is in a nice, straight line.

[@airadaimagery692]

How many miles do you have on it?

[@excitebikes2751]

Around 2000

Thanks for the vid! I would love to see a video about spoke adjustment.

[@stevepope5484]
