Chain tension

[RiverRat]

I’ve always done my chain tension by “feel” on my dirt bikes. Any tips on chain tension with ftr? It looks loose but it’s not slapping or making noise it’s just considerably looser than my dirt bikes. First bike like this so I don’t know anything about how it should be. I know loose is better than tight.

Measurements for the chain slack are in your owners manual. Yes loose is better than tight

There is a thread on the other forum that has some helpful information....

The one you have obviously forgotten about!

Glad we finally have our own forum. Tired of all the negative BS on the other one.
Indian riders are treated like out cats generally. And sadly, FTR riders are treated as bastard children by those outcasts.
