So you have a bike with a single sided swingarm...
Have you been consistently disappointed with
the quality of wrenches available to adjust the chain?
Stick around because we think we’ve finally discovered a viable solution.
Single-sided swingarms may not be all that common, but even less common are
quality chain adjustment tools.
Some bikes will come with a chintzy stamped tool in the tool kit.
But some bikes don’t even give you that (ducati).
Dennis Stubblefield Sales is an american manufacturer of motorsport specialty tools
mostly flywheel pullers and stuff like that.
But they saw our video on “How to Adjust the Chain on a Single-Sided Swingarm” and reached
out to us because they produce a very nice dual-head chain adjustment tool.
So why the dual head?
If you notice, the two sides are different sizes to allow the tool to work on more bikes.
The tool will work on virtually ever Ducati, most Honda’s, most MV Agusta’s, most KTMs
and most Triumphs.
So, how does it work?
Well, once you loosen the pinch bolts to allow the eccentric to rotate, simply put the spanner
in place and rotate the eccentric.
We’ve been using the Motion Pro spanner wrench, and it works, but you’ll notice
that it doesn’t fit perfectly on the eccentric, but the Dennis Stubblefield wrench fits much
better and consequently, works a lot better.
Plus, the material construction of the Dennis Stubblefield adjuster is of a
higher quality than the Motion Pro.
But, to be fair, the Motion Pro is listed a shock adjustment tool.
For $30, this tool is a solid investment.
Plus, it comes with an integrated bottle opener so you can celebrate your perfectly adjusted
chain with an ice cold bottle of suds.
We don’t know exactly how many bottles of beer this will ever open,
but it does doubles as a convenient way to hang the tool on a peg board.
We’ve provided more details in the description, including a more complete list of bikes this
should fit, as well as links to places where you can buy one of these online.
