- Watch along as I adjust the chain on my Triumph Tiger Sport 660.
Tools needed - 12mm and 14mm open end wrench, 27mm Socket, a torque wrench and a paddock stand to lift the bike.
Thank you. Very informative and easy to follow.
Thanks a lot for sharing this. Mine lasted around 7000 kilometers perfectly tensioned. Regards from Chile!
thats a lot, i am at 1800 and i am tightening it a 2nd time!
Great video. I have to say these 660s have the worst rear end. I probably ride harder than most but between the hollow swing arm the insanely long chain and no tensioner it’s really hard to align the thing correctly and get it to stay put. My axle bolt wants to twist which probably means it’s bent. Got a new axle bolt and same thing happens. It’s really apparent one major cost saver was the design of the swingarm. It looks great but once you get the hardware off the rear wheel it’s like wtf is this crap. I looked at a brand new Daytona 660 at the dealer yesterday and the cap at the end of the swing arm wasn’t even in straight. Transmission shifts badly when the chain isn’t right. This is by far my biggest complaint with my trident 660. Someone needs to design a better axle block and adjustment mechanism. I think they’d sell well
Really good video - thank you from the UK!
Looks tight to me
This chain has been doing very well. I'm not having to adjust it all the time and the shifting is smooth when I time it nicely.
Thanks for the video! Only thing you missed talking about was alignment...
Yes ... Like checking the lines on the swing arm and sliding plate to see that they are even? Good call, I did actually do that but I also marked the nuts and evenly turned both sides a 1/4 turn ... but I realize that is assuming that they got it right at the factory! This was the first chain adjustment at only 1250 kms so that was my reasoning for relying on equal turns on both adjuster nuts. On my old bike I did it that way for a long time ... probably until my first tire change.
@@DonMPhotography You got it covered Sir! Thanks again

Thanks for this video!
you also need to
check your back break. have to do that. and check the we\heel alignment.
Mine are both 13mm wrench for the adjustment nuts
No manual não diz para a mota estar no cavalete . Apenas vertical sem peso em cima.
hi, where can i found that torque wrench? I love it
I just bought it locally in our rural town, so probably not too helpful for you.
