hey everyone..
Im a new owner of a fizzer and new to street bikes as well. iv spent my life on the dirt.. iv got almost 5000 miles on my bike since i bought it new in august of last year.
Now my question, i have checked the book at it tells me the chain slack should be between 1.7 and 2.2 inches. when i measure the slack per the books instructions the chain hits the swing arm before i get to the max. of 2.2 inches. im clearly doing something wrong here. iv searched the forum already and was unable to answer my question.
with that said where should i be measuring the chain? and how often do you guys find yourselves actually needing to adjust the chain.. i feel like iv dropped the ball and am probably way out of adjustment after 5k.
thanks in advance
