But how do I adjust the chain on this thing?...My first single sided swingarm & mv...that & which rear stand is the best to get?..Pitbull?..Here we go having to buy specialty tools to work on this thing!

Thanks, Howard

There is a chain adjustment tool that should be in your tool kit. its a 2 piece design. Download and read the manual for instructions. As for the stand, I own and use a Pitbull, its simple and very effective.

Thank you Joe!

Anytime!

Keep the chain a bit on the loose side ( otherwise your hub bearing wont last !!! )

And those all so critical pinch bolts. Pay close attention the torque settings.

IMHO chain adjustment on these things is a thing of beauty, it is so simple it left me giggling and amazed, engineering genius

Gentlemen thank you for all the input...Greatly appreciated!..Im just use to the jap bikes all my life...the Italian road as far as bikes go I'm new to!....So again thank you for all your input!!...It's all about the 7 P's!

It's all about the proper torque.

Welcome to the forum....

i like PitBull stands, although i prefer stands where the handle goes forward....

you will need;
2 torque wrenches, 3/8 and 1/2 inch
a special 55mm tapered socket for the rear axle nuts, this one is for the later bikes without the front axle clamps.... http://www.speedymoto.com/Merchant2/...gory_Code=9SMT
some Clic-R pliers for the hose clamps;http://www.google.com/products?clien...ed=0CBoQrQQwAg
an oil filter wrench
a tube of Nevr-Seize or CoppaSlip for the wheel nut
2 small tubes of Loctite 242 and 271 or their equivalents
a can of waterproof wheel bearing grease

this is the easiest faired bike in the WORLD to work on, period!!!
absolutely brilliant!!!!
