ADJUSTMENTS
Chain Tension
Check the amount of chain slack by moving the vehicle slightly forward to remove slack at
the top side of the chain.
NOTE: The chain has a press-on master link. A chain tool must be used if it’s necessary
to remove the chain for service.
1. Collapse t he suspension with an adjustable (buckle type) trailer tie down strap (A).
Fasten the strap around the axle and rear bumper tube.
2. Tighten the strap until a straight line (B) can be drawn from the axle to the transmission
output shaft, intersecting the swing arm pivot. This establishes t he tightest chain
position.
3. At this point (C) the chain should have 1/4″ -3/8″ (6-9 mm) deflection. Use the
procedure on the following page if the chain needs adjustment.
