XSR700 chain adjustment

It's way too cold outside for me to enjoy riding, so now is the perfect time to catch up on some maintenance! If you have any questions on why or how I do certain things when adjusting my chain, leave a comment below ⬇

You’d said it wasn’t a tutorial but it was still super informative! Also, don’t worry about being awkward or looking stupid on camera you’re actually pretty natural in front of the lens

[@elifreeland5869]

@@VintageSteeland700s_1 in that case please upload a gag reel

[@broguemotorcycles]

GREAT video! Solid info and straight to the point! Thanks for the shout out too! Ride Safe.

[@f.i.l.d.e.p.s]

that looks like the chain doesnt have any slack left at all.

[@Tieniefraser]

Never too old to learn something . I wasn't sure why you use the cloth , but somehow it makes sense now:)

[@BoDean52]

First time to channel, nice video. These are always helpful. Ride safe

[@Logan_MZR]

Awesome man, thanks for showing us!

[@dmitriyzubov9701]

Great video, thank you for your help

[@miguelfernandes8996]

My bike has 6000 miles and I already adjusted for the 5th time, I'm getting preoccupied if the chain inst good and it will snap. Mt07

[@kriscaperton1982]

Great video. Cheers

[@tylerbolich2873]

Love the videos man

[@tylerbolich2873]

Definitely that’s my affordable dream bike haha

[@GarzaLovesYou]

Everytime I tighten the adjusting nuts the right ride is always 2 marks further back. Driving myself ballistic.

[@chris2790]

I thought the bike needed to be leaning on it's side stand. I guess it doesn't matter? The manual does say to check slack while on side stand with no weight on the bike.
Also, did you check the slack prior and then verify it was correct vs just moving the axle a tick mark or two? The manual states slack measured at the end of the chain guard should be between 51-56mm (2.01-2.20 in).

[@ChaseLancaster]

Yeah it’s supposed to be on the side stand.

[@niteflyer777]

You find that type of stand holds the bike securely? Haven’t bought one yet. I did buy a set of Aliexpress chain adjusters with integrated spools. Not a massive investment. We’ll see what the quality is like when they arrive.

[@VintageSteeland700s_1]

Yes, the stand has two "lifting" options on it, so whether you're using spools or the lift blocks on the stand, it will be pretty secure

[@karlooo79]

Nice one, thanks. Bytheway, you sounds normal
