it only has like a mili meter of slack my buddy keeps telling me to drive it to stretch it, mind u if it will strech i do not care, but if its going to ruin my sprockets ill just buy a new chain, as i cant replace my sprockets cause the genious i bought it from welded the hubs on, also what size of chain does a 1981 185s use how many links and what # chain

btw it was sagging with out a chain tensioner in it and yes i made sure to use a rubber hammer and tape my axel all the way forward

Not only is it going to kill your sprockets, it's going to kill your axle bearings or (god forbid) your counter shaft bearing. Is the chain worn? Time for a new one? If you're not going to change the chain, you can get those half-links and install that for a tad more length. It might get you right where you need to be.

yeh the chain was not worn it was a new chain about half a year old and it just sat there in a garage, ill probly try adding in a half link thanks fabio
