How do you tighten the chain on a honda atc 110? I haventr tore it aprt yet but , do you just losen some blots/nuts and slide the sprocket back ? Just need some general info. How do i guage the slack and how much slack should be in the chain? Do I need any special tools? Thanks

 

Look up --- chain adjustment--- in the search topic and it tells you how to do it in an old post...

 

The axle doesn't slide like on a motorcycle. It pivots to take up the slack in the chain.

There are 4 bolts where the axle mounts to the frame. I think they are 17mm or so. Loosen these 4 bolts, and if the adjuster is still there (it will look like a piece of threaded rod) tighten it to take up the slack. If the adjuster is missing, you can pivot the axle back and down to tighten the chain. Make sure everything is nice and straight before you tighten everything back up.

 

As to the slack, an inch or so in the middle of the chain should be fine.

 

depends on the year i have an 82 and it adjust w/ a gear on the left side attatched to the brake pedal pivot shaft take off the chain guard and its about half way between the axle and the left footpeg just remove the bolt slide it half way off add rotate up until the chain is tight bout 3/4" of slack is fine but my 84 adjust just like they said above
