Drive Chain Adjustment steps for F4i

I've created an easy procedure to tighten or loosen your chain. Let me know if something is wrong.

Good looking out. You asked if anything needed to be added, so I hope you like suggestions.

I always had better luck backing the adjusting screws all the way in and counting the flats on the head as I make the adjustment.

The other thing is, you might want to add a step on cleaning the old grease/wax off the chain. Most people I know just add more grease/wax and never clean the chain.

Add the picture showing what a good sprocket likes like compared to a worn one.

You have to look at it from a very novice point of view, if they are looking at instructions on maintenance like this… then they will over look some of the other basic things they should be looking at while checking/adjusting the chain. I hope you like the suggestions… sorry if you didn’t want the input.

don's the mang!
you gots to go all the way in then back out...why? because otherwise you'll get a tiny bit of slack between the metal piece and adjusting bolt on the right side...try it...the left side will be tight but you can still move the right side foward and backward....

Nice, but a little gumby for novices isnt it?
