DRIVE CHAIN SLACK
1. Check the amount of chain slack by moving the vehicle
slightly forward to gain slack at the top side of the chain.
2. Collapse the suspension with an adjustable (buckle type)
trailer tiedown strap. Fasten the strap around the axle and
rear bumper tube.
3. Tighten the strap until a straight line can be drawn from the
rear axle to the gearcase output shaft intersecting the swing
arm pivot. This establishes the tightest chain position.
4. Pull down on the chain tensioner
q
to move it out of the way,
then measure chain slack. It should have 1/4"-1/2" (6-12 mm)
deflection.
5. If the chain needs adjustment, use the procedure cited below.
