Drive Chain Slack Ad justment
1. Check the amount of chain slack by moving the vehicle slightly forward to gain slack
at the t op side of the chain.
2. Collapse the suspension with an adjustable (buckle type) trailer tie down. Fasten the
strap (A) around the axle and rear bumper tube as shown in the illustration.
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 (B). This
establishes the tightest chain
position. The chain should
have 1/4”-1/2” (6-12 mm)
deflection.
4. If the chain needs adjustment,
use the procedure on the
following page.
