<< On my 93 warrior I have my chain adjustment setting back as far as it goes. How do I tell whether the chain that I'm using needs to be replaced, or whether I need to take 1 or 2 links out of the chain. It is an o-ring chain. >>
The test for a stretched chain is to adjust it to specs if possible. Grasp a link of the chain at the rear sprocket at about 3 o'clock. Try to pull the link away from the sprocket and if you see 1/2 a tooth, the chain is gone. Of course if you have used all the adjustment and the chain is still out of spec, you already know the chain is toast. Check both sprockets for hooked teeth before installing the new chain or the new chain will be toast also.
By the way, removing links is just an emergency band- aid and won't alter the fact that the chain is shot and still stretched beyond reasonable use.
