chain tightens and looses

[Honda TRX250ex]

when i was cleaning my frame today i pushed my quad backwards. i noticed that they chain got really tight. but when i pushed it foward it got loose and back to normal.
what could be the problem

[bradley300]

sounds like the nuts on your swingarm that holds your axle carrier in are loose

oh goodie. i hate honda rear ends!

I don't understand why. Honda makes the best and easiest to maintain rear ends around. All the other manufacturers are just now copying the design.

have you ever tooken a rear axel assembly apart on a 300ex than went to a blaster?

[xc_racer1]

it could be a bent sprocket too

I love honda's rearends. Once you figure it out the first time it makes all the other fixes to it quick and easy.

On my 300ex I drilled out the holes for the allen head bolts and made it a pinch type like aftermaket, worked awsome :devil:

I think his question is regarding the fact that the 300ex rear end is already a pinch style with two allen head bolts that tightens it down on the cam style carrier.

At least my 1998 300ex is.
