torque

[knothead]

Don't leave the chain tight, you can mess up the transmission in a hurry. There are differences, but most of the Chinese bikes seem to tighten the chain the more the suspension is compressed... you have to leave a lot of slack... my Lifan needs about 3 inches with no weight on the bike. A few people will take out their rear shock and compress the suspension all the way, then set the slack (just one time to see how much they need.). There's several threads on here about it.

and the wobble i had into corners has gone however i had to adjust the chain and may be did it a little too tight how would i loosen it a little or when i ride it in will it slacken slightly
