I have an LT80 and the chain is real loose, but I can not figure out how to tighten it. Anybody know how?

Unfortunatly,there is no chain tensioning setup on the LT80,even new,they have a bit of slop in them. I'm sure there is a way to install an aftermarket tensioner,look up a guy on the forum called LT80,he races them,and I'm sure he needs a reliable way to keep a chain on a high speed racing LT80,so maybe he can help you.

Learn something new every day.

I didn't think you could tighten them.
