could not find order in which to tighten rear axle components..

Hi all,

I've got a zx-11 with those round slack adjusters at the rear axle. I couldn't find in the Clymer service manual (or the kawi one for that matter..) the order in which you should tighten them when putting the rear wheel back on.

I found that I had to adjust the slack of the chain first, then tighten the pinch bolts. Then I tightened the axle to 80ft/lbs (which seemed a lot tighter than it was before).

Is this the order in which you do it? The reverse order of removing the wheel would suggest tightening the axle first, then the pinch bolts.

Thanks,

RAS
