My son just bought a 125 M and we are un sure of the year. I have done a search on the forums for this but I have never seen a chain tightner in the rear like this. what all bolts on the rearend do I need to loosten to snug up the chain?


Thankz for the help.

loosen rear axle bearing holding bolts. the four on the sides around the center axle housing.bottom left should have a chain tensioner on it. adjust accordingly. chain should have about 3/8-3/4in play up/down use inspection hole on left side of drive chain case to check play. retighten the axle bearing holding bolts to 36-51ft-lbs. roll the trike forward recheck chain play through inspection hole. after all that you'll probibly need to check and adjust the rear brake if you move the axle a good bitjust adjust it by the wing-nut on the rear brake arm on the rearend. should be good to go.
i'm just glad a service manual came along with mine. lol

edit: i can get a pic of the exact ones if ya need it too.

Can you scan your service man and make a pdf file for it?

Check with Rob (rdlsz24) and see if he still has his, from this post (the link is no good).
