Tightening Your Chain

An argument has existed for decades as to which type of final drive is best. Shaft drives are quiet, but when they break down they do it in epic fashion and epic costs. Belts are quiet, cheap to replace, but are questionable offroad and in performance application. Chains are very reliable, low tech, and offer good performance, but they are noisy and require regular lubrication, tightening and replacement. You gotta love them all.

Considering there are more chain drive bikes out there than anything else, I figured I would do a chain maintenance video. I will be doing shaft and belt drive maintenance videos very soon. This video shows how to measure and adjust your motorcycle's chain. The bike I am working on is a beautiful 1975 Honda CB750F - SOHC, 4-1 exhaust, front and rear disk brakes, a Ferrari exhaust note when ridden in anger...I could go on all day :)

This is the sound of the CB750F I am working on. It was a fairly calm ride, but there are times when you can hear that 4-1 pipe sing ;)
