Bonnie Chain Adjustment.

unable to get a ring spanner in , so it looks as if the silencers will have to com off unless their is a different type of open ended spanner I could try

 

People should buy combination spanners.
Ring on one side open on the other.

You get combination spanners in a ratchet version too.

 

Accessing the nuts behind the silencers requires offset open ended spanners like this:

M12 and M13?

 

thanks for the info will save me a lot of hassle

 

thanks for the info will obtain the spanners will save a lot of hassle

 

I found it awkward even with cranked spanners. I have a T100 black and things mark easily. I eventually bought Toga silencers which give access with regular spanners.

 

i think i may have to adjust my chain, anyways i followed the manual and its very confusing. i watched some yt tutorials also, my question is do you have to losen all the lock nuts (both sides) and then do you have to adjust both adjustment nuts or just the side where the spindle nut? the yt tutorial i saw, the guy only adjusted from the spindle side. thanks in advance.

 

@R341N1994 Yeah you have to do both sides otherwise the wheel will be misaligned, there are marks on the swingarm to allow to get the same adjustment on both sides. Welcome to the forum!

 

Howdy R341N1994, and welcome in

 

Hi and welcome

 

thanks for the reply and thanks for the welcomes.
i still have question regarding the actual lock nuts, i know the manual refers the lock nuts as the set furthest from the wheel and the adjuster nuts as the set right by spindle. so in this case, i have to losen the lock nuts, the spindle nut, and then start turning on the adjustment nuts, am i correct in this comprehension? thanks

 

haha thanks i think you hsd just cleared it for me. yeh i meant those nuts adjacent to the outter end of the adjuster, basically the ones toward the rear brake and clutch pedals. ok so i have to losen both sides for that right?
i apologize for silly questions, but this is my first time messin with my bike, i have a 2017 t100, so it sounds like we have similar or same adjuster mechanism.

 

nice thank you, going to give it another try today.
