hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 Just returned from the dunes, my Boss carrier would not stay tight in my JL swingarm. It seemed damn tight everytime I re-adjusted the chain. I have a little room to grind where the pinch bolts go, but just asking, do these wear out? What's the best fix? Quote
possum Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 is the swingarm roundhouse tube bottoming out where it squeezes together? Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Posted April 1, 2013 The pieces of tubing that the pinch bolts go through are bottomed, but the actual carrier tube still has maybe a 1/32" gap. I plan to grind them tomorrow, but would like to now the best deal before my next trip. I thought maybe knurling the carrier? Quote
Starwriter Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 Yep, cut 1 side of the pinch bolt tubes and the slot in the big pipe about 1/8" wider. I had to do that to a chrome Lonestar swingarm. A cutoff wheel works the best. Quote
Coupelx Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 Also rotate the carrier in the direction of axle rotation to adjust the chain. This way it naturally wants to stay tight. Quote
