Chaincase Tension

[ultimatewarrior]

I have checked the chain tension several times (100, 250, 500, and 750 miles). Each time, I backed off the lock nut, and tried to tighten the bolt by hand. However, it has never really moved. On all my prior Yamahas, the chain stretched significantly in the first 100 miles, but this does not seem to be the case with my Phazer. Any thoughts?

Never had to adjust mine also except at track change.Dont forget there is a rubber sealing washer under the locknut.That needs to be backed off also or it will only seem tight.

Back off locknut and Washer
Tighten bolt by hand with good clean threads
Back off bolt 1/4 turn tighten washer and locknut while holding bolt stationary.

Don't forget to take up the chain slack by turning the secondary clutch counter clockwise.
