The adjusting the chain part, is that something a noob should be doing? I really want to do this mod, but unbolting my tire sounds scary if i dont get it back on right. Am I reading to much into it?
Adjust chain to proper tension, tighten wheel. I gave the CS nut a few taps with the impact gun, you don't need to murder it and I'm sure there is a torque spec but i do alot of these and the lock washer gets bent over to retain it too. A large slip lock plier makes this easy, simply engage the lip and a flat on the opposite side of the nut and squeeze it flat along the nut using a new, fresh edge of the washer so it doesn't weaken and break off.
Reassemble the speedo sensor, recrimp the wire strap and the replace the shifter/cover.
Go ride it and tell me it isn't how the bike should be delivered!![]()
