on the original setup its designed for the chain not to rub on the swingarm at max compression, I think you definitely need to lower the engine at the rear and protect swingarm with some nylon pad and chek it after a ride...someone must have a pic where front sprocket should be in relation to swingarm pivot...not only horizontal alignment is important, but also distance to pivot, the closer the better (closer= suspension movement has less affect on chain shifting in relation to pivot...further apart, the same suspension movement can double or triple chain movement, again in relation to pivot)JoKing wrote:@907Pasonut:
What about the situation, when the bike is not on the mainstand? When the suspension is compressed, like when you are going round corners knee on the street?
PS: a very rough measurement, guessing the sprocket centre is behind cover, 7cm back and 1.5cm down in relation to swingarm pivot
