I just got the new chain on and its tight how do I fix that? what tool do I need?

 

loosen bolts back there and the back carrier should twist or push in to tighten or loosen the chain. I have not had a quadracer in a while so I can't remember. I think I have a manual so I can check. jeff

 

there are 2 12mm bolts on the axle carrier. loosen them out. and there should be an arrow on the carrier. stick a drift or a punch in one of the holes and spin the carrier toward the engine. this should loosen the chain. you need 1 inch to 1 3/8 inch of play on the bottom run of the chain, with no one sitting on the quad. them tighten the the 12mm bolts back down.

 

is it 1 3/8? ive always gone with just 3/4

 

thats pretty much the max slack you can have before the chain derails and destroys the mag cover. but if you have an o-ring chain there is not too much to worry. i usually run my chain with an inch of play since i ramp around alot and i have an o-ring. took me a while and 2 set of swinger bearings to learn the happy middle though.
