chain adjustment question?

1820 Views 6 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  scorch
I have asked this a few times, but couldnt get an answer.

Is there a point in which you cannot adjust the chain anymore in the sp3? My chain is too slack(got a new chain and sprockets coming), but i cannot adjust i t anymore, can't get the little swingarm adjuster to go any further. I am wondering if it cant or im not doing it right.

THanks

Yes there is that point. I rode at that point for too long and my eccentric hoosamajiger seized up and I had to take the whole rear wheel assembly apart. Pain in the ass. You can still adjust the chain right?
If you can no longer adjust the chain(either tighten or slacken) then you gotta do this.

if you have the manual, that will help. and I would definatley get a large c-clip remover tool, and a large breaker bar.
