chain tension

[toddsbuffalo]

Getting a used AMP TS-500 Trail Sport ready for grandson for Christmas.It seems the chain may need tightened.About 2 inches of flex.Anybody know the specs on this.No owners manual. Thanks, Todd

with the rider sitting on the bike adjust the chain so there is about 25mm of play at the front of the swing arm...

Thanks for the response,But this bike has no swing arm.Solid frame.Should I still go with your spec?

hmmm ok... chain still needs a little slack so i guess rider weight isn't needed. still go for around 25mm of play in the chain.. you could go less if you want, but basic rule is its needs a little play...

shoot a pic up of the bike too, interested to see it..
