Finch Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 are you tightening it with the spring compressed? its supposed to be a lil loose when its got no weight on it? maybe pick up a clymers manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Make sure it won't be two short then I did it last weekend was way to short after when it was too long before it will stretch the first ride or two so ya better off leaving it a lil loose ride it a bit then take a link out imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
