im trying to tighten up my manuel timing chain tentioner to get rid of that clicking noise and ive ran into a question...ok that shiny aluminum whuch a ma call it on the side of the head , when u unscrew it it has a bolt that goes on the inside, is that the peice that i back a half of a turn then turn back in or is it the big nut between the whuch a ma call it and the head?....i have a cheap vertion shop manuel but it doesnt have any pics...lol...and i almost always need pics...

 

Well, I am not sure what your decribing but mine that I got last year has a lock nut then you set it with a screw drivers. You just set the tension with by turing the man shaft then locking it with the lock nut.

 

let me try to explain better..( just to be sure i have what im supposed to have) as your sitting on your bike , down by your left knee on my head....coming off my head i have a bigger nut then a chrome peice that u can srew out , it has a bolt attached to it that runs through your bigger nut into your head..( it that your locking bolt u were talking about?)

 

Alright.. Now I need to go look..

 

that is the tensioner.

 

yep.
the tensioner is the screw portion. Then the locking portion is the nut around it then the entire thing fits in with larger wrench that goes around the body...

 

ok...good deal.....my tentioner was pretty tight as well was my "big nut"... i guess my question is how in the world do u ajust it more tight.......ive got to be missing somthing here..lol....

 

nevermind.... the light came on....lol...i can take the chrome locking peice off (right)....is that where the screw driver head is located?

 

What do you want more tight?? chain tension or nut preasure??

Here is how I did mine.

Install the body in and get it snug into the head. I forgot the torque spec I used..
Then back off the nut that is around the shaft.. using a flat screw driver turn the shaft util you get I think 1 or 2 mm of travle on the chain on top of the t bracket between the cams..

Then using a screw driver to hold the shaft in place lock down the large nut to keep it in place.. Mine has not moved in over a year.

 

lmao.... i was thinking the ajuster and the chrome nut were one piece....ive been starring at that nut for two days...yep yep yep, that was one of the easier task ive had to do on my quad..lol...wish i wouldnt of made it so difficult...thanks for the help guys.....oh yah theres another thing, do either of u know the trick to getting the nut on top of your rear shock tightend up........ive almost tried every thing...looks like it would be easier if i took it off my bike, but i really dont want to do that unless i have too, the sag isnt that bad , but it does need to be tighter....thanks again..
