CHAIN CARE
Proper chain care will increase the life and improve performance of your Power Board.
Always keep the chain lubricated and tightened to proper tension.
Lubrication
Always keep the chains lubricated with a good chain spray or grease (not chain wax). If
the chains are allowed to run dry for a prolonged period they will fail, and the life of the
chain is severely shortened.
Chain Adjustment
The chain on the XTR-Street should be adjusted from time to time. The chain should be
tight enough not to skip, but have a little bit of play. If you feel your chain skipping or
make a popping noise, adjust the tension immediately.
For regular adjustments:
1. Using a 17mm wrench, loosen the axel bolts on
each side of the rear wheel (Fig. 11).
2. While the axel bolts are loose, using a 10mm
wrench loosen the tension bolts behind the rear
wheel of the XTR-Street and move the rear wheel
backwards to remove the slack for the chain (fig.
12).
3. Once this is achieved the wheel nuts must then be
relocked into position and wheel alignment must be
checked (while turning the wheel, visually check that
the clearance between the wheel and the frame
parts have clearance).
*Note: Chains that are run excessively dry or loose can
result in sprocket teeth being severely damaged.
