oset MX-10 Mk.1 - Chain Tension Adjustment and Maintenance; Checking and Adjusting Chain Tension

15
Your OSET features a tradional chain and sprockets. It is direct drive, with no gears.
With the motor mounted in the swing arm, suspension movement has no eect on tension.
However, the chain does need to be checked and adjusted regularly, especially when the
bike is new.
The chain must be checked before every ride and adjusted as necessary. There should be
very lile slack in the chain. Adjustment is done as follows:
1. Ensure power is turned o.
2. Loosen axle nuts (shown opposite).
3. Turn chain tensioner nuts evenly on both sides. Very small movements can make a
big dierence. Do not ghten so much there is no slack at all.
It should be ‘taught’, not ‘ght‘. Rotate wheel by hand and check chain tension.
4. Lubricate the chain & check the sprocket bolts for ghtness.
5. Reverse the above procedure, ensuring all bolts are ght.
6. Check the wheel for alignment and the chain for tension.
These two pictures show the correct tension.
When pushing up on the chain’s ghtest point, it should only move by 5-10mm.
Entanglement Hazard. Turn power o before starng
work.
