Tighten a Motorcycle's Chain Bolts

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 there are all sorts of way of measuring to make sure the tire's aligned right. I do a couple different ways. I do two ways just for my satisfaction that I know that tire's straight. I'll count the grooves in this bolt. This one has eight. Go over there and count the other side. If that has eight then I know I'm pretty close. Then I'll get a tape measure out and I'll measure a part of the swing arm that is perfectly the same on each side so I know I'll get the accurate reading on both sides of the nut. So I'm going to measure from this part of the swing arm to the bolt. I got thirteen here. So I'm going to do the same on the opposite side. Alright I'm going to put the axle on this side, axle bolt, put it on the axle itself. And I'm going to measure from here to here and make sure it's thirteen. Thirteen right on the money so I know the tire's nice and straight and aligned inside the fender. And when I do that, I want to make sure nothing's touching the tire or the chain or the guard here.
