chain adjustment was created by slmpcns
Chain is looser than what specs say it should be. Wondering how far out it can safely be adjusted. it looks like it is back quite a bit but there are still several adjustment lines showing. Any notions. i intent to get get new sprockets and chain but due to christmas its gonna have to wait a month or two.

If your sprockets don't have any bent or "Hooked" teeth and the chain does not have any excess "Tight spots" you're probably good for a while.
Put the bike on a centerstand(if posssible) and spin the rear wheel by hand, looking for tight spots. Try to adjust the chain so it's got good tension, not too tight or loose.
