Troubleshooting

Chain is too loose after installation

Re-adjust the chain tensioner according to the motorcycle's service manual. Ensure the tensioner itself is correctly seated and secured.

Chain is too tight after installation

Loosen the chain tensioner adjustment and re-set it to the correct slack specified in the owner's manual. Overtightening can damage the chain and sprockets.

Excessive noise from the chain area

Check that the chain pad is properly seated and that the chain is not rubbing against any other part of the swingarm or frame. Ensure the tensioner assembly is securely fastened.

Part does not fit correctly

Double-check that the part is intended for your specific Gas Gas model and year (2019-2022 TXT, Racing, Pro). Ensure no frame modifications are interfering with the fitment.
