Apologies if this seems really stupid but I am very much a start and ride person with no knowledge at all as to how anything on a bike works!
A wierd rattling noise on the ride to work this morning led to the discovery that my chain is slacker than something which is extremely slack. Normally at this stage I would ring my friendly garage and book it in but after a quick look on the Ducati Suite website it seems a very simple task to do it myself. Undo axle bolts, tighten adjusters until chain is at required level, tighten axle bolts. My question is is it really that simple or are there hidden problems that I should know about? The thought of riding to work on Wednesday and seeing my back wheel overtake me doesn't really appeal!!
