Tighten chain on S2R1000

[EcoROD]

I own a 2006 S2R1000 and would like to know how to tighten the drive chain. No instructions are given in the miniscule owners manual and no adjusters are obvious.

To do it properly, you need a "C" spanner.

The chain tension is adjusted by turning the "eccentric" within the swingarm one way or another.

First you loosen the two pinch bolts at the rear end of the swingarm - then you use the c spanner to grip the "hub" of the rear wheel eccentric and rotate it within the swingarm.

Once the required tension is achieved, re-tighten the pinchbolts, test again and you're done.

Apparently you can "tap" the hub thing around using a screwdriver or something and a hammer - but you risk damage this way in the case that something slips up.
