Sheegon98 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Whats up guys, i have a 98 Shee all stock suspension and chassis. And my chain was shot so i bought a D.I.D. 520 chain. i cut it to the length that i thought i needed it at and i ran out of adjustment before the chain was even close to being where it needed it to be. So i popped one more link out. Now its too short to where i cant even make my master link while on the sprockets. I had to make it and then pop it onto the sprockets. I'm confused. My gearing is 14 41. Does anybody have any suggestions? Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 You are running stock gearing and a stock size chain. Sounds like you took one too many links out. Remember, the chain tension is set with swing arm fully compressed. That's when the chain needs to be the longest, so THAT is the point to set chain tension. You can hook as classic red strap to the rear carrier and up to the rear grab bar to compress it and hold it there till you set the chain tension. Some gearing combos just don't work with the factory swing arm/carrier. So just add that link back in with a second master link. Then you have flexibility for most gearing combos. Quote
