I just replaced the front sprocket from a 13 to a 12 on my 2003 warrior. Now the chain was wicked loose so I removed a link but i'm having trouble with getting the axle to move forward. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 

it tells how i nthe owners manual

 

I'm sure it does but I don't have one right now!

 

You want the axle to move forward? Just tighten the tensioner bolts sticking out from the rear axle bearing carrier. Don't forget to loosten the carrier nuts and the tensioner jam nuts.

You need to loosen the bolts on the axle, and then tighten with the adjusting screws. Make sure that you are not to much to the right or left. You need to be pretty straight.

 

WHY DID YOU REMOVE A LINK ? I PUT A 12 TOTH ON MINE AND I JUST ADJUSTED IT BACK. THE WAY YOU ADJUST IT IS ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR AXLE BELOW YOUR REAR SPROCKET IS A BOST THAT FACES YOUR RIGHT REAR TIRE LOOSEN IT AND THEN THERE IS A BOLT FACING YOU AS YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE REAR OF THE BIKE TURN IT IN AND WATCH YOUR CHAIN . YOU WILL NOTICE MARKS ON THE SLIDE TO INDICATE WHEN TO CHANGE YOUR CHAIN. BE SURE TO SIT ON IT OR PUSH DOWN HARD ON THE GRAB BAR TO TAKE SLACK OUT TO SEE THAT ITS NOT TOO TIGHT. WHEN YOUR THERE JUST TIGHTEN IT BACK AND YOUR DONE.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

OOPS YOU SAID FOWARD. KICK THE CRAP OUT OF IT (LOL).

 

Sounds like you need to put the link back in then use the adjustments to get rid of the slack.
