Question for the Enduro owners re chain tension... 1. Where do you measure from (it's not entirely clear in the manual). Any of these places (see pic below). 2. My previous Multistrada (2014 pikes peak) had a little tool to check the chain tension in the tool kit...my Enduro doesn't have one, does yours? 3. The Manual implies you should check the tension with STANDARD settings. What are the standard settings? 4. What socket tool did you use to loosen the rear wheel and where did you buy it from? 5. What torque setting did you use to tighten the rear wheel 6. Any other tips?
There's no chain tool, just a good guessimate is what I'll be using. Not needed to adjust whilst closing in on 7,000miles. The latest engine update & a well ran in engine is beutiful & fast no sluggish zones.
My Enduro has just clicked over 7200 miles and first adjustment made yesterday evening. I used a 36mm socket and according to the workshop manual the torque setting should be 18Nm +/- 5%. For chain tension I use a chain Monkey, Tru-Tension US | Precision Every Time | Chain Monkey Used it for a couple of years without any problems on other bikes.
Someone on here made a gauge out of a piece of wood. He just made it the exact size of the recommended measurement (57mm for your bike), so there's no peering at graduations on a rule to do and took it with him on a long continental trip. Looks like the yellow line is the right one If you make it square, you can use it either way round and you can always make it out of something fancier, like alloy or even carbon fibre...
Hey thanks for posting a reply.... a couple of quick questions... where did you get the workshop manual from? What setting did use on the Chain Monkey? Cheers.
Chain monkey setting works out to be 3 and the manual. Quick search online and I paid about 8 euro. I'll see if I can dig out the email.
Cheers Old Rider, it was me. Save your money MG. just cut something to the length required and keep it in your toolkit. No peering at mm on a rule, no faffing about. Just cut it to the length specified on the sticker situated on the swinging arm and that's all you need.
