    Does anybody know how to adjust the single arm rear suspension on the Bros 400? I need to replace the chain and the one i got is short so it requires me to adjust the arm. I will be ordering the Manual from Haynes for this and other general stuff but was wondering if anybody had any expirience with fitting a chain on this model. Cheers

    The suspension should not make a difference to the chain. The problem
    might be that due to adjustment due to chain wear the distance between
    the front and rear sprockets is too great for a new chain. To resolve this
    you need to reverse the adjustment procedure. Look here:

    BTW have you changed a chain before ? Do you know what you are doing ?
    Are you sure that the chain is the correct length ? Are you replacing
    the sprockets at the same time ? If the answer is 'No' to any of the
    above perhaps you should consider getting help or getting a professional
    to do the job.

    Haynes do not do a manual for the Bros, but this crowd does a modified
    Hawk GT manual with the differences between it and the Bros marked:

    Here is some more info they provide WRT the Bros:

    Firstly thanks for the reply and info. Yes i know the procedure for changing the chain and have a professional working with me (sometimes). The spockets have already been replaced recently and it looks like the previous owner adjusted the spockets out to full length to avoid replacing the chain. The chain itself is only 2 or three links off connecting. I bought the chain from a honda dealer so im presuming its the correct one. I know its nothing to do with the suspension itself but i was told the adjustments are at the arm

    look behind the place where the sprocket goes on the back wheel
    there should be a large pinch bolt on the left hand side of the wheel
    undo this then turn the hub behind the sprocket
    this is how u adjust the chain on the honda pro-arm
