You are supposed to do this on the side stand, because chain tension is different when it's not loaded. You will find that when you do 30mm on the centre stand, when you set the bike down it will be less than 30mm.
I’m seriously thinking/considering buying. ‘24 VStrom, and it’s been a while since really considered buying a chain driven motorcycle, I have owned 8 motorcycles, and have owned 4 chain driven ones, the last was my ‘01 Yamaha FZ1, great bike, so it’s been a long time. Would you recommend a V Strom 650 to an old guy? Thank you

Yes you're right, if adjusted on the center stand, it should have some extra mm of slack.
@@MototalkUSA I was definitely curious about that.

Yes, I'd definitely recommend the vstrom 650, it's not a power house but definitely a good bike!
thank u for the tips👍🏼
My pleasure 😊
To my eye that chain looks a bit tight.
Good solid USEFUL video!👍
Many thanks man! 🙏 Happy you liked it 💪
👍👍👍
🙌👍
Excelent video! The only concern for me is putting the right amount of torque I always tend to put too much. Any advise?
Thank you man! Do you mean the torque on the tool?
@@MototalkUSA Yes, I was referring to putting a force of 72 ft/lbs as you tighten up the axle nut.
@@guillermochavez2170 yup, that's what it calls for, I have the same feeling but that's what I go for.
@@MototalkUSA Thank you man!
@@guillermochavez2170 my pleasure, anytime!
setting the chain
Cool man! 🤙🤙
Hello my friend, do you know how can i replace the bolt that tightens the chain because its rouined? Thanks
Hello there, remove the rear wheel axle and the block where the adjustable screws push on and then remove those rounded bolts. Καλή τύχη φίλε μου 😉
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you bro! 👍
100Nm damaging the axle and nut!
That's what the owners manual shows, same thing on my Hayabusa.
