really asking this?
only hard part is the master link
put your shifter into neutral.
take one end of the chain and wrap it around your front sprocket.
pull the bottom of the chain udner the rear sprocket and wrap it around.
then use masterlink to contect the two ends.

you have to loosen the two big bolts on the axle carrier where it bolts to the swing arm. then the adjusters at the bottom/rear of the carrier need to be loosened(you have to loosen the nut at the base of the bolt first it locks the bolt in place when adjustment is reached). then take the master link out of the chain wrap the new chain around the sprockets. (ezer with the tires off the ground so you can turn the axle) put the master link back in and adjust the chain tention with the two bolts you loosened on the bottom/rear of the axle carrier. you want about an inch of up and down play in the chain. then tighten the two axle carrier mounting bolts. done
no, im putting a new motor on it. When i too the original off i just rotated the engine enough to get it off but that proved to not work so well when trying to put it back on.
when you say losen do you guys mean just a few turned on the nuts? it really doesent look like theres any way for this part to move foward.
if you loosen the two main nuts holding the axle carrier on, then loosen the chain adjusters the axle carrier will turn. hence shortening the distance between the axle and the motor
ok, i think i got an idea of what to do now. hopefully the way to turn it is obvious when i try. its just throwing me off how theres a top and bottom bold so it woudl seem like one of those woudl have to come all the way out for it to turn. but I think im puting to much thought into it.
the adjusters that run parrallel to the fork already were to loose to start with too seems pretty odd.
just for a general knowlege an oring chain or xring chain will last much longer than a non oring chain. but the down fall to the oring or xring chain is that they put more drag on the motor bc the rings make it harder for the chain to turn. a brand will just be an opinion and not a fact. that is why i didn't list one
