Ok guys i cant figure out how to tighten the chain on my 2010 796 hyper. I have searched the forums and read the manual. I just dont get it. Could someone break it down for me. I swapped out my counter sprocket and now the chain needs to be adjusted. thanks.

just heat the chain with a blowdryer until it shrinks.

before i make fun of you i have a question? how did you get off the front sprocket without loosening the chain?? you must have been there for a long time with that.

now the back of the swing arm has two 14mm blots to loosen and then take the black chain guard on the very rear up or down to tighten the chain,super easy!!

It wasn't too hard to get the sprocket off. The step i was missing was the moving the chain guard up and down. Thanks for the help.
