problem with chain on 200s

[Throesch]

if you have good sprockets and you just bought a brand new chain then why is it still loosening up? its not a major loosening just kind of gradualy getting looser and looser. can you help me out? thanks

[trikes4life]

Are u over tighting it and its loosening up.. Oring or non-oring.....are your bearings good...

Chain stretch!

yup mine does it too. but some of my reason is bad bearings. but my adjuster was knocked loose. well the nut rather. plus if its a brand new chain it will streach a little.

do you know how to tighten the chain correctly?

Loosen the 2 or 4 axle bearing holder nuts which hold the hub to the frame, and tighten the small nut on the end of the chain tensioner.

My chain tensioner onmy 200s was gone...i wondered why the chain was soooo loose until i finally figured it out.

My 350X threw chains and couldn't keep adjusted properly. It was worn out swingarm bearings, axle bearings, and a worn out swingarm bolt hole on the frame.
