I have searched and there is surprisingly no thread dedicated to tightening the chain. I am not much of a mechanic, in fact I have doing any work on cars. Never done anything to my maxim except ride her. My chain is loose, and I need it tightened though. Cannot afford to pay someone, so that leave me.
I looked on youtube for a video on this, and most of the ones I found were for much newer bikes. Anyone have a video they can share that shows the process on our bike? If not, a picture tutorial? I know about nothing on what is what on a bike, and being able to see it would really help me do this safety.
My bike is my daily driver, and I super need to not screw this up!
Also, what should I use for chain oil? I have white lithium, is this safe to use?
