Title: please help gsxr shock owners!
Post by: ineedanap on January 27, 2009, 07:19:55 PM
hello. 
how much chain freeplay do you end up with when the bike is on the center stand?  I have 2 inches.  Anything less and the chain binds during the arc of the swingarm.  I have a 12 inch works shock.  I thought that was shorter than a gsxr shock.  Is it really?  Is the freeplay worse with the gsxr shock?  I'm frustrated!
thanks

I believe the chain should be adjusted with both wheels on the ground (bike on the side stand)

checked that way too, but got the same measurement.
