    Ok. You're grounded!! put the 250r back in the shed and don't get on it again until you can look at the bearing carrier and the axle and figure out how to change the distance between the axle and the swinger bolt.

    Mind the SLOTS(possibly holes if after market) on the carrier and how the axle is positioned in the carrier. Thats all the hints I'm going to give you.

    If you're big enough to ride it, you should have the common sense to see how to wrench on it. Its pretty obvious actually.

    my goodness man!!!!!! look at it and think about it. there isn't that many parts back there.

    just incase here is tips on how to air up the tires:

    load 3 wheeler into your truck, drive to tire store . ask for air in your flat tire.

    Shame on you guys. He's asking for help. not to get flamed. There's no such thing as a stupid question fire.

    I'm not sure how the R is but on a Z (and alot of others) you have to loosen the four bolts that hold the carrier to the swinger. Then there should be two set screws pointing towards the back on the top of the carrier that when turned will pull the carrier back there for tightening the chain.

    Retighten everything and you should be good to go. I find it easier to do if the rear tires are off the ground. There should be about an inch or a little less play in the midway point of the chain (between the two sprockets)

    Not flaming him Chris, just want him to use a little common sense. If it was something difficult to do I'd be the firts to go into detail on how to do it. But its kinda simple.

    Also, tightening the chain on your yamaha is a bit different than the hondas.

    Don't feel bad about the bolt, on my T-3 the last owner put new sprockets on it and then must have lost the C-clip for the front sprocket. So instead of going to the hardware store and getting one he jjst welded a lage washer over the end of the output shaft!!! Now I have to go after it with a grinder and try and get it off the flipping shaft. Not gonna be fun, I just hope he didn't wreck the groove in the end of it.
