New Motorcycle Tire Alignment

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Drew Neilon from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in Little River. I work at Beach Customs and today I'm going to show you how to change and maintain a tire for Expert Village. Alright what I'm going to do now that I'm on this side, the axles through the swing arm and the hub, I'm going to put the spacer with the machined-out edge facing the axle or the sprocket chain adjuster bolt so that I can tighten up the chain. Alright now you grab your wrenches, open end wrenches, nine sixteenths, and what we're going to do here is tighten this chain up. It's real loose, so what I'm going to do it go ahead and tighten this up. Alright I tightened up the chain adjusting bolt and the object here is to make sure the chain's nice and tight. I would say a good, be able to push it up a good quarter of an inch. That looks about right. It may be a hair tighter. Chains are a little tighter than your regular belts, but a quarter inch turn on the belts, this right here looks about good. So I'm going to go on the other side and tighten it up and then measure each side to make sure the tire's in there straight.
