Finally I Get To Go Riding

[350BANSHEE350]

i am finally going to go ride for the second time and was checking over the shee and i notice that my chain was sagging like old lady tits (EX) well i got the measuring tape out and i pushed down and pulled up and from the bottom of the chain pushed down to the bottom of the chain pulled up was 1.5 inches

so the slack from bottom to bottom of the chain is 1.5 inches max. i could find without sitting on it, im 140 pounds if that helps at all

should i tighten it or is it fine

 

thanks yall

im havin probs with mine...its brand new...just put it on yesterday..my chain tensioners are all the way in...wont help...i have the carrier slid all the back also....if i take another link out...i think it will be too short....

Take a link out and remove the bottom chain roller until it streches enough to put it back on. That's how I had to do my new chain.

i got my bolts off and put the 2 little screws in about 1/2 a cm and it was tight but then it went just as loose after a little ride

to tighten the chain do you put the little 10mm screws IN or OUT

 

thanks

1.5 inches with no weight on it is fine.
