I have an 89 Blaster and the chain titening bolts are all the way down. how am I supossed to titen it further.

 

Blasters_rule,
If you have used up all the adjustment.. you have to buy a new chain..it is stretched too far to adjust. Further use of the worn out chain will result in damage to the sprockets, if it hasn't already happened. Look at the teeth on both sprockets..if they are hooked & not straight up & down you have ruined the sprockets and if you install a new chain on them you'll ruin the new chain as well.
I sure hope you don't have to buy sprockets as well as a chain. That will run into money.

yeh, If your tightened all the way on the tensioner bolts....I would say that you have stretched your chain.... If you are comfortable that the chain looks like it is in good condition, I would try to remove a link or two out of the chain. Replace the masterlink and go with it. If the sprockets appear to be worn and the chain is bad, your looking at around $80 for a good chain, and another $60...give or take for front and rear sprockets.

 

the wouldnt be stretched because its a brand new o ring chain and the sprockets are fine. Im having someone coming over today to help me work on it.
