Rear Drive Chain Slack

Check the amount of chain slack in three different locations by moving

the vehicle slightly forward to gain slack at the top side of the rear

chain. Measure the chain slack at the tightest of the three positions. At

this point the chain should have 3/16"-3/8" (5 mm - 10 mm) deflection.

NOTICE: Adjusting or operating the ATV with improper rear drive chain slack

can result in severe damage to the transmission and drive

components. Always make sure the slack is within the stated

specifications.

Use the following procedure if adjustment is required.
1. Remove the chain guard.
2. Loosen the chain guide.
3. Loosen the two eccentric

locking bolts.

4. Loosen the caliper mounting

bolt located on the left side

of the swing arm.

5. Insert a pin punch through

the sprocket hub and into the

eccentric housing.
