Chain adjustment questions
Greetings,
When adjusting chain slack on the KLX, is it common to require aligning the rear wheel? It seems like as long as you click each side of the adjuster evenly, it should remain "true" Also, does the torque of the axle nut apply pressure to the bearings? I torqued mine by feel and I need to ride it about 3 miles to borrow a torque wrench to set it at 80Lbs. I've been wrenching for 25 years so I'm pretty sure I got it reeal close to 80 Lbs, just don't want to hurt anything on the short ride to the torque wrench.

If you have been wrenching for 25 years why don't you have a torque wrench????[:'(]

As long as you get the adjusters on the same notch it will be fine.

If you are experianced I'm sure you have a fair idea of torque .... if you use the same spanner each time. I bought2 torque wrenchs cause I will one day put my 300 kit on and I have already broken the front axle studs going over the correct torque.
