Help adjusting motorbike chain

[mrsilencio]

Hi

Not sure this is the right place to post this, but I'm sure someone will tell me if not.

I desperately need someone to help me adjust my motorbike chain as it has a little slack and I have quite a long ride ahead of me at the weekend. I've tried with a spanner to adjust the bolts with little success and ideally need a torque wrench. Also, as I've never done this before guidance would be appreciated. Its only a quick job so dont really want to be shafted by a garage just to undo a couple of bolts.

If anyone can help me out ASAP, I'd be hugely grateful.

Cheers

John

Thanks salsaboy, but the problem isn't me not knowing what I need to do, it is not having the correct tools to do it! I really need a torque wrench (and ideally somewhere more level that the side of the road!)

You can do without a torque wrench, just do it up again as tight as it was by feel. You'll be fine.

Ok, ill give it a bash. If I can get it undone that is!
