Steps
Switch the bike off and put it on a stand so the rear wheel turns freely. Keep your fingers away from the sprocket and chain while you work.
Find the middle of the chain run between the front and rear sprockets. Push the chain up and down to measure the slack. Check your manual for the exact figure, often about 25 to 35 mm.
Loosen the rear axle nut with the right socket, but leave it snug enough to hold the wheel. Do not remove the nut.
Loosen the lock nuts on the chain adjuster bolts at the back of the swingarm. Turn them counterclockwise about half a turn on both sides.
To tighten the chain, turn each adjuster bolt clockwise in small, equal steps. Count the turns so both sides stay matched.
To loosen the chain, turn the adjuster bolts counterclockwise and push the rear wheel forward. Then pull it back until the slack is right.
Check wheel alignment with the marks on the swingarm or a straight edge along the chain. Both adjusters should sit at the same mark.
Spin the rear wheel and recheck the slack at several points. A chain often feels tightest in one spot.
Tighten the axle nut to the torque in your manual, then tighten the lock nuts. Recheck the slack once more.
Lube the chain and wipe off any excess. Spin the wheel a few turns so the lube spreads.
Tips and common mistakes
A chain that is too tight wears out the wheel bearings and motor sprocket, so aim for the loose end of the spec.
Turn both adjusters the same amount or the rear wheel will sit crooked.
Recheck slack after you torque the axle nut, since tightening can pull the wheel back.
Clean and lube the chain after wet or dusty rides to make it last longer.
Questions
How much slack should a Yozma IN 10 chain have?
Most electric dirt bikes want about 25 to 35 mm of up and down movement at the middle of the chain. Check your owner's manual for the exact number.
Do I need to remove chain links to loosen it?
No. Slide the rear wheel forward with the adjusters. Only remove a link if the chain is so stretched that the adjusters run out of travel.
How often should I check the chain?
Check it before every ride and again after the first few rides on a new chain. Clean and lube it after wet or dusty rides.
