Can Am DS 250 Chain Tension Adjustment

A quick drive chain adjustment on a 2009 Can-Am DS 250. These quads have not changed much throughout the years, so this procedure is probably the same for all years...

Thanks for this video! I had no idea how to tighten my really loose chain

[@jamesfrausto1677]

GREAT VIDEO!!! helped me with what i thought was something horrible. I followed the other video on your channel of switching the 15 tooth sprocket to 14. I thought I had some some serious damage because when giving her gas on a straight away it wouldn’t hook and spasm almost. but this video just saved my life because right after the adjustment she ran PERFECT! AMAZING VIDEO.

Thank you so much I found this so helpful

This was probably the most seized part I have ever had to free up. Every one of those adjusting holes slapped off and I have to bear on the metal in the rear where the bolts go to open it up a bit to and like a can of pb blaster to finally free it and adjust for a new chain properly…. I tried heat and everything

[@dannychaffin7433]

Yeah I'm having that problem I can not get the tensioner to free up and roll forward so the chain can tighten. Any advice?

Thank you!

Hey my tensioner will not move at all. When I put the screwdriver in it will not roll so I can tighten the chain.

[@mikefilippinijr100]

[@blazerguy1971]

Glad it helped. Sounds like you had an adventure!

[@GabrielLopez-gw9eh]

my chain keeps getting loose

[@fitzy1840]

My quad doesn’t the the spot to out the thing to move the chain

[@traviswagner9114]

My chain keeps loosening up. I tighten the two bolts down pretty good. Any ideas? Also feels like there is slop when starting to accelerate.

[@blazerguy1971]

Its possible that your chain is worn out. Check your front and rear sprockets for wear as well. Other factors could be worn swing-arm bushing or rear axle bearings. I tightened the bolts down pretty tight, there should be no movement of the bolts. Good Luck!! :)

Que número es la cadena o como se consigue?

[@blazerguy1971]

I am not certain of the translation, but the OEM chain Part Number is S40100RCA000 if that is any help. I used Google translate, but it did not translate properly. "the number on the string" . Sorry my friend.
