Title: Slack on steering chain and gear - Bavaria 39 Cruiser
Post by: marp on May 13 2023, 10:41

Hi All, I am continuing on checking everything on my recently bought Bavaria 39
My steering chain is pretty loose, I have question how much slack there should be? "Just not too loose" based on feelings? Now its like alot. See video: https://youtu.be/sVMUiLRija0
Another thing is slack on bottom cog/gear of the steering wheel ( longer chain from steering wheel) should it be that way? See video: https://youtube.com/shorts/qTBGObfln5s

You want the chain with no slack in it, but not so tight that it's under any tension.
