got a quick question on tightening my chain..
my manual reads like so:
1.Loosen the 4 cap screws on top of the the axle housing
2. Turn the adjuster nut on the rear of the axle housing until the chain has 1.2-1.6" or slack between the chain buffer and rear sprocket; then tighten the 4 cap screws to 72ft/lbs
my question is isnt 72ft/lbs alot for an alum housing??? im going to adjust my chain tomorrow and i dont want to strip the threads or twist off the screws
