take your bottom roller off.

[christ6]

anyone think its a bad idea to take off that bottom roller?

also if anyone know where to find the roundhouse carriers let me know?

that mean i need a new swingarm if i go that way??

If you have adjusters you should have had no problem to install that chain, UNLESS of course, not if you cut it too short. They are confusing, i have cut a many chains too short.

well im headed back to the shop today maybe, guess im going to try some different gears to see if i can get it too fit

 

any recommendations? knowinng that i couldnt get 14/41 or 15/41 to fit

my mods are in my sig

im thinking ill prolly have to drop a tooth or two in the back, which would be same as adding to the front right?

so maybe go for a 14/38...14/39 maybe? that should come out somewheres around the 15/41 right?

or would somewheres around 15/44....15/45 be more appropriate?

any input

BAD IDEA! That roller is there for a reason. Yank it and you will find yourself with a thrown chain, really worn sprockets, and think about what that stress does to the bearing on the output shaft when you remove that roller. Duh!

problem solved

i couldnt slide the axel all the way in due to the skid plate being in the way, took it off and used some muscle and got the axel to slide up all the way. then was able to modify the skid plate to fit back on. SWEET thanks for all the help guys

I had the same problem when i extended my swingarm. I was going crazy looking for a half link and had no luck. i left my chain with the extra link that made it loose and rode it a few hours. The chain stretched enought after a day on the dunes to cut the link off and adjust it properly.

 

The other way is to take the carrier off and make the adjustment slots longer on the swingarm. Grab a dremel and shave the slot towards the front of the bike in the same angle. i did this on a friends bike and can get pictures if you really need them.
