Wheelie physics + chain adjusters.

I run my chain adjusters somewhat in the middle, now what I was curious to know is.. what benefits is there between sucking it all the way in, or stretching it out to the end of the swingarm... there's about two or three inches of room here to position the rear wheel. Has anyone ever tried this out?

all the way in makes the sweet spot smaller all the way out makes it bigger but the difference is so small it's not worth mentioning

Re: Wheelie physics + chain adjusters.

Cool, reason I was asking is because my bike is so rediculously wobbly (I'm almost positive the swingarm is bent) that i've been trying everything in my power to help stabilize this thing.

Re: Wheelie physics + chain adjusters.

You might look for "play" in the Shock Mounts (the bushings)... and the Swingarm bearings.... and the Wheel bearings. any of those would cause some rickity **** happening back there.

Also I Learned recently .... that Not having You rear wheel SET perfectly straight....will make the wheelie Veer pretty strongly (about equal to what crown in the road does) and my **** was just "Off" by 1 mm !!! Then I set it the other way (just to test my theory) and the Bike absolutely Veered the Other way !! Then I set it straight and The Bike wheelied straight. Lesson Learned....
