ok I know this is probably been asked or posted a million times but my ?s are, anyone who currently owns a 03 or 04 predator what was your exact break-in procedure be specific please also upon your break-in how soon did you adjust the chain thanks for your help...................................

 

Lube before you ride, after you ride, after you wash, and check before, during, and after each ride and adjust it as needed. There really isn't a "break in" for a chain...Just don't break it by over tightening. And if it's too loose, it will pop off or wear your sprockets out faster.

 

i had to tighten my chain after the first ride.

 

thanks pudljumpr, but what Im saying is a chain from the factory will losen, as you break-in the motor, the chain also breaks-in itself how many hrs on the machine you think before you actually have to adjust it. Also whenever I adjust my chain to the specified freeplay which is a 1/4 to 3/8 according to polaris I have other riders feel the adjustment and they say it feels to tight. This quad I have has 3.5 hrs on it from me I do not know what the dealer or the factory has on it if any at all. I have not touched the chain yet for adjustment but right now there is about 3/4 of an inch freeplay is this to much? the quad is just parked. thanks again...............

 

3/4 is ok i think.. and i am one of those who thinks polaris wants em to tight.. 1/2 to 5/8 for me..

 

where is all my teachers out there! anyone else got some info, I asked 2 >?s
