Im guessing that the tensioner is fully out..Does that mean i have to take out a few links in my chain? Or would it be better to buy a good quality chain (i dont want to spend much! lol) ?

 

[Dirt Bikez & Pocket B]

that chain shouldnt be touching the swingarm at all, some how bend the tensioner so its not 2 tight.

 

[geezus18]

Do you mean the little roller? And also my chain isnt applying any pressure to it because its so loose.

Ok well ill try bending that roller and then ill wait for a good chain to come up on ebay. Is the tensioner at the end of the swingarm completly out/as tight as it goes?

Hows this one look im a bit sceptical!

Just head to your local bike shop... a standard 120 link DID 420 chain is around $30... if you don't have a chain breaker you'll have to get them to shorten it to the right length...

That chain on eBay is a cam chain not a final drive chain

i had the same problem when mine arrived, i just loosened the roller and bent it a bit and then tightened it back into the right place. its just a lot of fiddling around.

 

[geezus18]

cheers ill go there tomorrow! I took the roller off and now look!!!..I think ill be investing in a new chain! lol!
Ill try bending the roller down a bit and then put it back on when i get the new chain.

Ive taken the chain off and tighten up the tensioners. Now it looks lke if i put a new chain on it would get caught on the chain guide and the sprocket..the gap is only tiny. Is the chain tensioner up too far or is the guide adjustable?

NO, the chain guide is way to high as when the chain is fitted there wont be any clearance atall , this will cause excessive wear on the guide.

So it will get a bigger gap if i put a 37tooth sprocket on..and i could also let the tensioners out a little. And if that dont work ill just take the guide off...or is that bad?

 

[geezus18]

thats a final drive chain...right?
