Lanky Posted November 25, 2003 Report Posted November 25, 2003 to adjust the chain to the correct tension is to throw a 8 or 10mm wrench into one of the sprocket teeth and tighten the chain down hard. Quote
wheeleymaster99 Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 i dont really gage how tight to put mine i just get it tight enough so that it dosent fall off and enought slack so it dosent strech cuz when the shock is compressed the chain is pulled tighter hope that helped if you could tell what i was talking bout Quote
boonman Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 1.25" of slack, that is you push down on the chain, and then pull it up. The difference should be about 1.25" Quote
Shee_Rookie Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 I usually have someone, "my brother-n-law" tighten the chain when I am sitting on my bike. This seems to work good for me being as my chain has never come off yet .... Quote
