biffco Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 What is the correct procedure for tensioning the chain on the mar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinshock giles Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Not sure about the correct procedure but on all my bikes I set it so it doesn't get over tight once i'm aboard and the suspension is slightly more depressed. You've got a chain tensioner to take up the slack when its on the over run so its not absolutely critical as long as it isn't tight. Just make sure both snail cams are set the same way around and adjusted by the same amount at each side. Its actually taken me longer to think about how to do it than do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goudrons Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Worth checking your chain tensioner has both springs still attached and working otherwise they tend to sag. There should be one spring wound around the swinging arm and the tensioners arm. And another spring from the tensioner block (where the chain runs through) to a pin welded on the inside of the swinging arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
