Well i was out riding today..iv'e tighted my chain quite a few times now..adding the 13t and 38T sprockets..anyways...out riding..having a blast..and noticed the chain was making more noise then usaual..now we all know the normal chain roller noise..well my chain was now slapping my skid plate...way too loose..so i heading back to the pits to load my bike on the truck..

why would the chain go loose so much so sudden? is this normal for chain breakin? I have about 60hrs on my bike..

 

Is that a new chain because I know when I have replaced the chain on my Scrambler, it does do some strectching for the first few rides and requires alot of re-adjustment. I think it is normal for some chains, maybe certain brands or types, don't know, my Regina chain done it.

 

stock chain that came on the quad...

 

It should not loosen up that much. The only thing I can think of is, after you put the new sprockets and re-tighten the chain, the bolts didn't get tight enough. Try tighten them up again, and see if it happens again.

 

There's a decal on the side of your swingarm, believe it says 35 ft/lbs. The books say 45, so be careful. Keep it lubed and tightened, it'll stick around for quite a while.

 

i went 45ft lbs..is that right?

 

I can't find my chain adjuster thingy ...??

(grin.... just teasing guys.... you can tease me when I am trying to figure out why my belts are steaching [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
