DRIVE CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Periodic adjustments of the drive chain will be necessary to maintain proper tension. If the drive chain is
loose, it may make a "popping" noise, which indicates a need for immediate adjustment. To manually check
the drive chain tension, make sure the drive chain is properly seated on both the front and rear sprockets.
Place your finger underneath the center of the drive chain and push upwards to the top of the chopper.
When properly adjusted, the drive chain should move upward approximately 1/4". If there is greater than
1/4" of movement, the drive chain must be adjusted before use to avoid unseating "falling-off".
Follow these steps to tighten the drive chain:
1. Loosen brake support lock bolt(Fig. 1)
2. Loosen the rear axle nuts (counter clockwise)(Fig. 1 & Fig. 2)
3.
Tighten the chain adjustment eye bolts (clockwise) on both sides evenly so that the rear wheel doesn't become misaligned.
4.
Once the proper drive chain tension has been achieved, tighten the axle nuts (clockwise) and brake support lock bolt.
*If there is less than 1/4" of movement when you manually check the drive chain, the chain is too tight and
needs to be adjusted to avoid breaking.
Follow these steps to loosen the drive chain:
1. Loosen brake support lock bolt(Fig. 1)
2. Loosen the rear axle nuts (counter clockwise). (Fig. 1 & Fig. 2)
3. Loosen the chain adjustment eye bolts (counter clockwise) on both sides evenly so that the rear wheel doesn't
become misaligned.
4.
Once the proper drive chain tension has been achieved, tighten the axle nuts (clockwise). and brake support lock bolt.
*If there is more than 1/4" of movement when you manually check the drive chain, the chain is too loose and
needs to be adjusted to avoid coming off.
The chain should be cleaned and lubricated with bicycle chain lubricant (available at local bike shops) after every
100 miles of riding (or every three rides) or after riding the GAS CHOPPER SCOOTER™ in wet road conditions.
