Chain Tension
 

How do I tighten my chain, it has about 2-3 inches of play in it, how much should it have??

Do a search and all will be revealed. Do you have an owner's manual with bike ? It is in there too.

If it has 2"-3" of play, I don't think I'd be wanting to ride until it was set to spec. There's a real danger of it jumping the sprocket & jamming up. :cry:

My chain is set all the way to back wheel, cant go further. I have about 1" 1/4 slack and it bounces and hits the bike when riding. I think i need a new one it may be to stretched out.

Ummm... yes. Very Soon.

Sounds like you really need a new chain. Pull the cover off the front sprocket and check it too. A chain past it's service life will do nasty things to a smaller sprocket very quickly.

Anyone have a good place to buy this chain for the gz ?

Ebay, brotha!

Re: Chain Tension
 

Have any of you measured the chain according to the manual to determine if it is in fact streachd beyond serviceability?

If the wheel is all the way back & no adjustment left,that about says it all.
