Adjusting the chain

[blackops]

Since I fitted my pyramid hugger the chain has been catching the front of the hugger its fitted as per the instructions I can only think that the chain may be to slack? I gather that any adjustments must be made on the sidestand and the tolerances are between 20-30 mm does any body have the correct procedure for tightening chains please.

20-30mm at the SLACKEST point, chains don't always stretch evenly.

... and make sure to top of the chain is in tension. (bike in gear and rotate rear wheel)

Others have had the same problem. Have a look here.
Think it just wears a little bit away & then its no problem.

I'd the exact same problem when I first fitted the Pyramid hugger.  Still happens to a (annoying!) degree!  I'm considering cutting the front back an inch or so to allow for chain play (my chain's at the correct tension) - if that'll work!!

so how do you adjust the chain with the bike on the side stand ?

I've always done mine on the centre stand or if the bike doesn't have a centre stand, up on  some wooden blocks

I followed the manual so I did mine on the side stand, loosened the axle nut, then adjust the chain with the adjusters on both side of the bike, tighten the the axle nut again - just in case I also checked that the wheels are in line with the 7 foot metal bar - job done.
