No......it's the angle of the pic!
Loads of adjustment there and no slack when you pull it back off the sprocket!
I haven't needed to adjust it since I've had it, and it seems most stock chains (if maintained properly) will go for in excess of 50K kms. And I've only got 20K.
Life is so much easier with a centre stand......so I gave the chain a really good clean today.
And, for the first time since I've had the bike, I could check the steering head bearings properly.
My only interaction with Carbs has been tickling a couple of Amals in 1971 and 1972.
Obviously I didn't do it that well because the POS Triumph and BSA still didn't start.
