- Adjusting the chain of my new MT09 2022 for the first time. Keep in mind to follow the manufactor instructions carefully in the owner manual. You can find the manual for the MT09 2022 here cdn2.yamaha-motor.eu/prod/own...
Scroll to page 83 or search for "chain slack" until you find the page 83 with the instructions

Extract from Yamaha service manual how to check chain slack/tension for the 2023 MT 09 model. Start by marking a reference point from the rear edge 32 mm inwards of the lower swing arm plastic chain guide. From that reference point move the chain vertically up/down.The minimum stretch is 36 mm to a maximum stretch of 41 mm. If chain stretch in under 36 mm, the rear axle needs to come forward to increase chain slack. If the chain stretch is more than 41 mm, the axle needs to moved backwards to tighten the chain.
Axle nut size is 32 mm, the torque is 77 ft lbs or 105 Nm,
The adjustment lock nut is 12 mm in size & the torque 12 ft lbs or 19 Nm,
There are incremental vertical marks/notches on both sides of the swing arm to gauge how far you wind the axle forwards or backwards to either loosen or tighten the chain tension. 🖐🇦🇺
Thanks! Ya thats how it shoud be done as I mentioned in the video. Many riders are mixing these specs with other bikes
Thanks for this, thought I was going mad. I have read the manual and you are right, but like you I thought it was too tight, but this is right. All of the other videos are misleading. Excellent 😄
Happy that I could help, ride safe!
So many people argue “it’s too tight” even though it’s manufacturer spec.
Let them fight with each other. Our bikes are set the way Yamaha says 🤷🏻♂️
Ya, thats why I felt with my fingers when I brought the bike from the dealer with only 26 km on the odometer. With that said it made me feel the "original" set up
Excellent job on the chain slack adjustment tutorial. I love your efforts in precision and thoroughness.
Thanks for watching! Im happy to help
Thank you so much. Did my chain adjustment a few days ago (6300km) and thought it is way too tight now...but Yamaha wants it that way. First thing i bought for this was a caliper for use instead of a measure tape, makes it much easier to measure and more precise.
Hi, thank you for watching my videos!
These settings are for the city riding. If the riding is more of a racing or other style the settings should be other I think but Im not really sure about it. Haven't got an answer to this question form Yamaha yet.
Have a great day!
Can you show a link?
@@t.m9341 sorry what link?
Great video! helped me a lot
Happy to help thanks for watching
We buy our Bikes new in 2023. I bought 2 BPA Slack setter, go to yamaha seller und put the slack setter directly on the chain (sidestand was unfolded) So i have the reference from yamaha factory default. At home i put the bikes on the assembly stand with the second adjuster. Now i can maesure folded or on assembly stand. But yes the chain is also on factory default by 41 mm my girlfriend same bike and same 41 mm by sidestand unfolded. I adjusted both chains after 4000 km , my Girlfriends on 36 and my again to factory settings with adjuster to 41mm. So 36mm is in range but feels like too strong but its in the range. So better a little bit looser than to strong is my opinion, both settings works. But you have to measure the range on sidestand, not on the assembly because you push the swing upwards. You measure after adjustment on sidestand?
Ya I saw these. THe thing not many can get those in time and the moment is gone. The video is to show how you can do it when you are not prepared at all. Thanks for viewing my channel and your advice ! 😊
Nice! The manual does not state anything about finding the part that has the most slack on the chain by rotating it and then measure it. Normally that's something you should do don't you think? The older the chain. The more it can fluctuate when you turn the wheel.
Exactly! Thats why I mentioned that my chain has only 500 ish on the ODO meter. If the chain is older then we need to turn the chain and at the sametime try to find the tightest place.
Thanks that you mentioed it and for viewing my videos 😊
Hi, can you send a link to the manual whit the specs for this? Thanks
Hi, sure here it comes www.manualslib.com/manual/2804501/Yamaha-Mt-09-2021.html
I think you can download it, search for "chain slack"
great video , keep in mind however the manual says to do this on the side stand, not a center stand
Thanks for watching and the information!
I have checked the service manual and it says:
- On the page (2-9) on the "CHASSIS SPECIFICATIONS" the following:
Drive chain slack (Sidestand) 36.0-41.0 mm (1.42-1.61 in)
Drive chain slack (Maintenance stand) 36.0-41.0 mm (1.42-1.61 in)
And on the "PERIODIC MAINTENANCE" page 3-18 you can read the following:
Drive chain slack (Sidestand) 36.0-41.0 mm (1.42-1.61 in)
Drive chain slack (Maintenance stand) 36.0-41.0 mm (1.42-1.61 in)
Drive chain slack limit (Side-stand) 46.0 mm (1.81 in)
In my opinion you can use the sidestand, centralstand, or the maintenance stand
I missed that ok good one @@swedrider
