    Modifying the ADC spring tension

    When eliminating the governor completely and siliconing the hole closed, don't forget that over revving will stretch the spring on the automatic decompression mechanism mounted on the cam. All of a sudden you won't be able to start your engine. Too much compression. You need to replace the...

    Proper Chain Tension (Video)

    Can anyone tell from this video if this chain is too tight? This is how it was when I bought the thing. It seems tight, but when I ride I hear it clanking on all sorts of things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VMxAA847Oo

    tell me what you think about this chain tension adjuster

    I made this several years ago and it works so awesome I wanted to share it with you . you drill 2 holes in your motor plate and bolt it down so the center bolt lines up with the rear oil drain plug then loosen the engine mount bolts a little and turn the adjuster bolt until you have the tension...

    Checking chain tension - I've searched

    When you check chain tension, say you want 1/2" - 3/4" of play, When you measure the play, how hard do you push on the chain? It makes a big difference if you just kind of lift up/down or actually put a little bit of force on it. Because when its about 3/4" when you apush a little it still...

    tension

    My chain on my bike kept falling off so I made sure the clutch and sprocket lined up. They did and I can't take link out. The chain stopped coming off but it wiggles to much. Should I have a tensioner welded on? I don't have a baja bike but would that tensioner work?

What am I doing wrong? is it suppose to be tight or should I try a softer...

    chain tension

    I was wondering since my rear rim and or sprocket is not true (wobbles) a bit if when it hits that little tight spot if it effects the performance such top speed, acceleration ect.. and also I can only get it to work with about 3/4 to and 1inch of play. Is that to much? Can it also maybe be a...
