    Can someone who has a T120 confirm that you really have to take off the standard pea shooter silencers to adjust the chain.

    If this is true then it seems crazy to me.

    Thanks BC

    Should be able to confirm that for yourself BC
    Can you gain access to undo the rear spindle nut ?

    Offside only unless you use a crowfoot.

    Yes, but it only takes a few minutes to do. You could just take the offside one off to slacken the axel nut but then you risk damaging the near side silencer if the spanner slips when adjusting.

    Another reason I like the Remus cans easy chain adjustment
    That said I’ve got a scottoiler fitted so only adjusted once in 7500 miles
