3 Loosened those screws in the back

4 but the wheel wouldnt move, so I kinda knocked it with a rubber hammer, It moved back enough to be tighten the chain.

5 Checked the alignment


Does anyone have a pic of the 12mm things I need to turn clockwise/counterclockwise that Alpha posted earlier?  Furthermore, does the actual wheel move?  If that's the case won't I need to have the bike on the centerstand?  Lastly, do I just eyeball the alignment or is there some super fancy jedi skill way of doing it?  Thanks for being patient.

Not the GS, but you get the idea:


Like Tad said, they are the two screws on the back of the swingarm.

Yes, the wheel actually moves, but you need to measure the tension on the sidestand. You measure it by using the measuring tape I mentioned.

Sorry to go OT a tiny bit, but when I first read that topic title I thought you meant 2 guys up on the same bike. That annoying thing would be.....?  :laugh: :dunno_white:
