Default Blaster chain wont tighten.

Blaster chain is very loose and the tentioner bolts are maxed out. I got another chain from a 98 blaster but it still is so lose i can take it off with my hand. I have tightened my chain many times. So i think i know what im doing.


Any of you guys know whats going on?

So the other chain is used? Probably time to bite the bullet and buy a new one. The chain has stretched outside of its' normal serviceable life once the adjusters are maxed out. Don't forget to replace both front and rear sprockets at the same time. Worn sprockets will prematurely wear a brand new chain. Primary Drive stuff is good quality at a decent price and they usually have package deals.

If it happened real fast I would check and make sure you don't have a cracked swing arm or something.
