I am new to the forum,picked up my new Predator Feb.1 love it so far.My question is,in the owners manual it says to torque the two eccentric bolts to 45 ft.lbs. after you have adjusted the chain,on the swing arm it says torque to 35 ft.lbs. which one is correct?

Good question? Welcome to the forum and congrats on your Predator purchase!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] I never noticed that there were readings on the swingarm.. I've had to adjust my chain several times now and each time I just tighten the ecentric bolts to where I feel they are tight. I'd say the tighter the better but I could be wrong????

 

The manual is a miss print. the actual torque should be 35 ft lbs. like the sticker says on your swingarm. 45 ft lbs is to tight and can bent the brackets. kevin

 

Thanks for the info.
