Hey guys!! Hopefully everyone is having a good February!
Went and checked chain tension on sidewinder today and i could screw the bolt all the way in.
Removed cover everything is still together, but that top gear has play in it.
Is it safe to say that top gear bushing is gone!?

If it wobbles is gone! It should be snug and not move on the shaft.
Tack Weld the tensioner screws while you are in there!!!!!!!

Okay good!! Was just checking prices!! Haha!!That's normal.
Would the chain loosen that much from top gear failing? Or you thing chain is streched and needs to be replaced too?

A worn top bushing will cause the chain to loosen. Chain should be good for many miles, what's it reading?Okay good!! Was just checking prices!! Haha!!

It will be a sign. Also look at the teeth on the top sprocket. Are you replacing the bushing or buying a new gear with the bushing?I havent gotten a new bushing yet! But when i do install new bushing i check it then if i need new chain
