And remember when you sit on quad the chain gets tighter

 

[89blaster89]

what happens if the chain is to tight?

what happens if the chain is to tight?

destroys chains, sprockets and rollers.
general rule of thumb is 2 fingers slack

And what awk said^^

 

[89blaster89]

ok i did some reading. 2 fingers of up and down play in the chain. is that while sitting on it or not?

 

[Awk08]

/\ correct, it also puts unwanted strain on the output shaft which could lead to bearing/seal failure.

i don't know if this applies to atv's, but you'll like the mechanic............

i wanna see video of you sitting on the quad, AND... reaching back to get 2 fingers under the chain I:I

[Quadrider10]

the chain should have about 1'' of up and down play in the middle.

30 to 40 mm up and down slack with the rider sitting on the bike.

There is absolutley no reason that you cannot sit on bike and face backwards and reach down to feel the slack.

C'mon guys use your imagination, a bit of string or a length of wire can be put under the chain and lifted to read the slack.

But I must agree this is a better method, just imagine this chick in the, no, no I won't go there!
