How do I adjust the right chain tension on my TM ?
for alle MX and EN Models (not the Junior 85/100)
the distance between chain slider and chain needs to be at least 45mm (see picture)
Do I need to grease the bearings when my bike is new ?
The TM bikes come with a good load of grease out oft he factory – so no worries when the bike is new.
Please clean and re-grease the steering bearings, swingarm & linkage after 10 hours and than every 25 hrs (at least)
