I just finished replacing the chain, sprockets and rear tire on the '75. All is good, and the R & R of the exhaust system to accommodate these repairs was no big deal.
However, I am loath to R &R the exhaust or shocks to do a simple chain adjustment in the future, and I want to plan ahead for this.
I have a 12" adjustable spanner which will easily loosen the nut, but the torque on the tightening is the issue. I have a 50 lbs fish scale, and I could easily bolt a bar metal extension/cheater on the wrench. A slip-on pipe section would not fit in the cramped space:
Could someone give me the value for "A" and "B" to achieve the 108 ft-lbs indicated by the Yamaha Service Manual?
I just drew this up on Cad-Cam ( )
Thanks !
