An Adjustment

To the chain, that is...

TJ wasn't happy with the play in the chain and recommended that I go to the dealership up the way to get it addressed, since he didn't have the tool for it. I was able to take a quick lunch today and head out at 4:30, getting to Power Sports by 4:50. It took them a bit, and when I got back to the bike, I could tell they had taken a lot of slack out, just by testing the chain (and getting chain lube all over my finger).

However.

The ride home? Hiawatha! It's like a totally different bike! Smooth as glass. Silk. Butter. A gravy sammich! I mean! It was a blast coming home, because the response on the bike was so much more immediate. I never noticed that much of a change when the chain was adjusted on the Ninja, but boys howdy, can I tell on the Viffer.

Tomorrow's gonna be fun!
