Drive Chain and Sprocket Assembly

  1. Install provided sprocket 6 onto motorcycle transmission output shaft.

  2. Place backer plate spacers 3/4 and chain guard 2 into position on the backer plate 1 as shown and start bolts 10/11 with lock washers 9 as shown to hold spacers and chain guard in position.

    IMPORTANT

    Reference your specific install kit’s content image from the Kit Contents section, for spacer 3/4 and bolt 10/11 locations as they vary per kit. Make sure to use Blue Loctite® 243 on the provided 3 button head screws 10/11.

  3. Next, slide backer plate, spacer and chain guard assembly onto the transmission output shaft and into position.

  4. Tighten the sprocket backer plate 1 to the engine case and torque to bike manufacturer’s specifications before chain 7 is installed and chain tension is set.

    NOTICE

    Reference your host bike’s owner’s manual or manufacturer’s specifications for proper torque specifications.

  5. Route chain 7 around both front and rear sprockets.

  6. Complete the assembly of the chain with the master link 8 provided. Be sure to install the master link with the opening of the link facing rearward in relation to the chain direction as shown.

  7. Set the proper chain tension by loosening chain slider nut and bolt. Slide the chain slider up or down until 1/2 in – 5/8 in of vertical deflection is met in the upper chord of the drive chain. Torque chain slider nut to specification below when proper tension is achieved.

    TORQUE

    Chain Slider Nut:

    18 ft-lbs (25 N·m)

    NOTICE

    The chain will stretch within the first 5 hours. You MUST check for proper chain tension after this initial break-in period and readjust as necessary. The chain slider is not intended to roll and can be rotated as needed to keep proper chain tension on the usable surface of slider.
