BPA Racing Official (Slack Setter).
I came across this company and the “Slack Adjuster” product when I was looking for a way to keep my chain for my Vstrom 650 adjusted correctly. I am guessing most people know the basics of how to adjust a chain but getting that perfect setting is a pain in the rear end each time. All that measuring, adjusting, re-checking and adjusting again. In fact my local mechanic who I use for my servicing sets it perfect every time and once it starts to get loose again I will adjust it myself during services but I can never get it like he does.
I decided to do some searching on tools that I can get to make sure I set my chain up correctly and that is where I came across BPA Racing Official and their adjuster system. Not only did it look robust and made of quality parts, the video that I watched showed me how to set this tool up and I was shocked just how simple it was.
I have seen many different ways to set a chain from a screwdriver method to the 3 finger method, but they never work 100% every time , the real only way is to measure and adjust and if you do it other ways that means a possible misaligned and incorrect chain tension which can end up damaging your chain and create excess wear on it. So this seems the perfect tool that’s cheap enough for most people, but also be something that would also last and not become unreliable after time. Like many plastic devices on the market which can wear out and then start giving a false reading, with this being made of stainless steel it not going to wear out anytime soon or even rust.
I have linked below to the video that shows how to set up this for the initial first time for your bike and let’s face it, is a lot easier to understand than me trying to explain it in writing.

So now you’ve watched the video and can see just how easy this system is to use. What surprised me is how small and compact it is also, allowing me to take it with me and check my chain at any time, and once it’s been set up the best part is no more guessing if my chain is in need of adjustment, a few seconds with this amazing tool and I know for sure, no second guessing myself from now onwards.
The other advantages is no needing to measure the chain slack, and then adjust and check and measure again, its cuts out these steps and allows you to go straight to adjust.
I know some will say I may as well measure or one of the other ways people adjust and yes of course there are ways to do this but this tool is about making it simple, easier and quicker; and most of all consistent time after time. For its price it is well worth the time saved and peace of mind.
Think of the money you can save if you get your mechanic to adjust your chain, this is a one time price and you won’t need another in its life time, so huge savings. Payments can be made via Paypal so that make all transaction simple, and this one device will fit all motorcycles, including dirt bikes, sports, enduros and even choppers and even thou they are based is the USA they ship from local dealers saving time and import duties too.
