Title: 2003 Z400 Chain Adjustment
Post by: ZRIDER on February 07, 2006, 09:45:58 AM
The other day I noticed my chain was a little loose, so I tightened it up.  So, I started tightening the two bolts and the axle carrier was tapped out all the way to the bottom before the chain got tight.  I noticed the rear sproket was a little worn, so I replaced the sprokets and chain thinking maybe the chain stretched a little bit.  After installing the new parts the adjustment is still in the same position, all the way at the bottom.  It's so far down the disc brake and sproket rub on my aluminim skid plate.  Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Jason

hello , the manual goes over detailed chain tensioning procedures but make sure the number of links are the same as the old as well as the number of teeth on the sprockets you replaced and everything should go fime.
