new chain

[yamaha blaster]

So its time for a new chain I am sick of tightening it after ever ride, so what is a good chain that won't stretch very bad. Like for example I tightend it and by then end of the day it had strectched another two inches.

You sure its your chain and not the axle comming loose?

sounds like the carrier bolts are not tight enough

When it heats up itll stretch a little but itll go right back once it cools down. But yea, it wont stretch inches everytime.

So what do I do to fix that problem or what do I tighten to fix the problem? Thanks..

If it isn't a good quality o-ring chain it will stretch every ride and get worse the older it is. You might want to inspect the sprockets for wear before too long.

I've never seen a chain shrink after it cools down.

just tighten the two bolts on the axle carrier

F#@$ it I am just going to bite the bullet and buy me a good chain, cause the guy I bought it from isn't very mechanically inclinde and I have a feeling he just bought the cheapest chain he could. Thanks though guys.
