How do you adjust the chain on your 1999 Honda trx 300 ex?

As far as adjusting the chain goes, to the right of the rear sprocket there will be a large concentric adjuster with slots in it. You'll have to loosen the two 6mm Allen head bolts on the swingarm just to the right of the adjuster. Then use a small wrench [turned sideways] and slip it in the slots of the concentric adjuster. If you push it forward, the chain gets loose. If you pull it back, the chain gets tight. You want to have about about 1 1/2" of play [up and down slack] in it when finished. Then tighten the Allen head bolts and you're ready to go !!

There should be 4 bolts on the back between the brakes and the sprocket, the top two will have slots that should be of equal distance once finished.Loosen all 4 bolts then take the jam nut loose at the chain tension bolt This bolt should be on the same side as the sprocket and chain. Turn the tension bolt clockwise until the chain has about 1 1/2" of slack in it. Tighten everything back up and you should be good.

How do you change the chain on a stihl 031av saw?

Undo the two nuts on the right hand side and remove that side cover. The rod which controls the chain brake automatically detaches from the chain brake handle.When you have the side cover removed place the saw on its side with the pull cord downwards.Lift the bar up towards you and off the adjuster. unhook the chain from around the bar and the small sprocket, this part is very obvious when you look at it.Wind the adjuster screw back a couple of turns to give you some free play and then fit the chain in the slot in the centre of the bar, over the nose of the bar and then back towards the saw. Make sure that the sharp cutting edge faces away from the saw on the top of the bar and back to the saw at the bottom of the bar.Fit the chain over the sprocket again and place the bar back in position, making sure that the lug on the adjuster fits into one of the two small holes on the bar.Replace the side cover and fit the nuts finger tight. Pull the chain brake lever into position and fit the control rod back into the side of it. Turn the adjuster screw clockwise to tighten the chain correctly and tighten the side cover nuts. Make sure the chain brake is off and pull the chain around to ensure it is correctly seated. You are ready to go.

How do you adjust the chain on 1982 Harley FXWG?

To adjust the primary chain you remove the oval-shaped inspection cover on the chaincase, loosen (don't remove) the 9/16" nut that holds the chain tensioner in place and move the adjuster up or down to adjust chain tension. The chain should have 5/8" to 7/8" of up-and-down play at its tightest point when the motor's cold and 3/8" to 5/8" of play when the motor's hot. To adjust the rear chain, loosen (but don't remove) the axle nut and turn the adjuster nuts (on the ends of the swingarm) in or out an equal number of turns to obtain proper chain tension. The rear chain should have about 1/2" of up-and-down play at its tightest point.
