Drive Chain

The drive chain will stretch with use and
will require periodic adjustments. To check
the chain tension, remove the chain guard
and measure the slack.
The amount of slack in the chain should not
exceed 5-10mm or 0.2" - 0.4". Inspect the
drive and axle sprockets for worn, damaged
or broken teeth. Replace as needed. Inspect
the chain links for damaged, worn or loose
rivets. Repair or replace asneeded

Loosen the axle position lock bolts lightly and
turn the chain adjuster nut to take up the excess
slack in the chain. Once the chain has been
adjusted to the proper tension retighten the

The chain should be kept well lubricated to
prevent excess wear and premature failure.
We recommend that you lubricate the chain
every 15 hours of operation, or more frequently
if needed, with a high quality chain lubricant.

The cable should be adjusted to allow for
1/8" free travel before the throttle engages

cable's free travel, loosen the locking nut
of the cable adjuster, and turn the adjuster
wheel until there is 1/8" free travel in the
lever. Tighten the locking nut to secure the
adjusting ring.
