Hey everyone, I just got my new renthal sprockets and renthal r3 gold o-ring chain and I have a couple questions.. First, How do you connect an o ring chain? I am sorda new at that and could probably figure it out but I don't wanna take any chances. Secondly, how do you tighten the chain once you get it on?? I know hondatrx300ex got a new chain and he said he had to tighten it constantly.. I figured I might ask how before I start tinkering!! Thanks

Find the master link which looks different then the rest. Take it apart their and put it together. The chain length should be close. Loosen the axle housing bolt on the bottom left near sprocket. Think its 17mm get to it through sproket other side is 14mm. Just loosen it then use a 12mm to loosen two adjuster bolts on bak of axle carrier. Tighten 10mm bolts both equally until you have about an inch and a quater chain play. Tighten back 12mm nuts and tighten the big axle bolt 17mm. Your new chain will stretch several times repeat process. Lube chain regularly after riding while chain is hot. Good luck
