YETI SNOWMX USER MANUAL
DRIVE CHAIN
IMPORTANT
: Soft Strut adjustment must be
completed before adjusting the drive chain
tension.
• Position the bike level on the ground
• Lift automatic chain tensioner (
1
) off the chain
and keep it up (e. g. with a zip tie) to avoid
adding tension to the chain during adjustment.
See Figure 38.
Figure 38
• Loosen eccentric bolt nut (
1
) a little using the
special socket provided in your YETI SnowMX
parts kit. Figure 39.
• Loosen slightly, the two M8 bolts (
2
), and the
four M10 bolts (
3
-
4
) on each side of the Bike
Mount so that the Bike Mount assembly can
slide. Figure 39.
Figure 39
NOTE: Be careful to not loosen the two bolts (
2
) too
much; T-nuts could fall out and be lost.
• Rotate eccentric bolt (
7
) to adjust chain tension
as required. Use a 12-mm socket. Figure 40.

IMPORTANT
: Remove all play in the chain without
over-tensioning it. The chain must be tensioned
before tightening Bike mount bolts and locking it in
place.
• Tighten in sequence: the eccentric bolt nut (
1
) to
61 Nm (45 lb-ft); the four M10 bolts (
3
-
4
) of the
Strut block to 41 Nm (30 lb-ft); and the two M8
bolts (
2
) at the front of the Bike Mount to 25 Nm
(18 lb-ft). See Figure 41.

• Release the automatic chain tensioner back onto
the chain.
SYNCRODRIVE BELT
IMPORTANT
: Verify belt tension after 1 or 2
kilometers, and 3 or 4 times on your first outing. If
you notice a significant change in belt tension, re-
adjust tension.
Syncrodrive Belt Tension Verification
• Slide the red tension gauge (
1
), incorporated in
tensioner mechanism, to the outer edge of the
Syncrodrive belt. See Figure 42.
