i need to tighten the chain on my ds. i dont have the owners manual and cant find anywhere online that points me in the right direction. any help would be appreciated. thanks

 

On the axle carrier, there are two bolts that run vertically tothe carrier loosen those to hand loose.

Find an allen wrench that fits in one of the holes in the back sprocket. Behind the sprocket, towards the back of the bike, is a hole that you will stick the allen in.

i cannot remember if it is push/loosen, or push/tighten, put push/pull the bike to adjust the chain.

italso helps if you have someone relatively the same size as you to sit on the bike while you adjust it.

 

There should be a rod about 5" long in your tool kit. Insert the rod thru one of the holes in the rear sprocket and into the indent on the carrier. Loosen the carrier bolts. with you sitting on the bike have someone pull the bike backwards to tighten the chain. You should have about a 1/2' to 3/4' play in the chain with you on it. Tighten carrier bolts up and your good to go.
