so I am trying to adjust my chain on my DS650 and I cant figure it out at all! the manual has the worst instructions ever on it! I just cant figure it! maybe someone can give me a pointer! I put a 15 tooth on soo I need to tighten it up a little!! I loosened off the axle nuts and I have the little rod adjuster threw into the eccentric axle housing then it says to turn the axle and then that just bends that little rod like what the hell maybe I am just dumb! any help would be appreciated! and if anyone has a big gun full system I would like to know what they think of it thanks guys!

 

Loosen them up good and then try a rubber mallet hitting the housing. Mien had alot of crap in it that came out then it would move.

 

Do not loosen the axle nuts, just the pinch bolts at the rear of the swigarm...

 

Did you mean the bolts that clamp the axle or the actual axle nuts?

 

The bolts on the end of the swing arm that pinch the axle carrier.

 

i just did ths the other day with out a manual and i found it really easy and i chose the 15 tooth sprocket also omg what a difference be care full but anyway at the end of swingarm is 2 bolts loosen those look to the left of chain and ull see a aluminum round thing what i did was found a hole in it slid a screwdriver in and cranked it against the rear sprocket worked like a charm with no harm done and didnt take much effort at all took longer to figure out how to do it i was diing when i figured it out good luck

 

I really trying with this thing doesnt really seem to want to move do I put the screwdriver threw the hub hole and then into the eccentric axle housing?? like threw both holes!! i am just bending screwdrivers here hahah! how much play should I have what is supposed to happen I dont see how it works like I said I am an ideot!

 

maybe your chain is stretched or mmaybe its jammed can u get it to loosen the chain if so and it wont tighten maybe u need to drop a liink like ur chains stretched that adjustment will only move so far
