I have never had a bike with a chain tensioner do just want to make sure I have the chain adjusted properly. So how do you do it? I'm gonna put a new chain on it so the procedure from start to finish would be great

There are some How 2 Videos, on Trials UK's web site.

They are a Site Sponsor, and their Banner usually pops up at the top or to the right of the Main screen.
There is a Good to follow how 2 video for Chain adjusments on there, i actually think the picture in the banner is of that actuall video.

So long as you have about 20mm of up and down movement at the slack/middle of the lower chain run ..you will need to overide the chain tensioner spring force . I have made some snail cams with quite a big "click" between actual stop positions which make it practically impossible to overtension the chain. Too loose it might come off/rattle... too tight may damage g.box output brgs so it's best to err on slack rather than tight. Not sure about the affect of climate conditions on Hawai though!

Thanks I appreciate it.
