carrier keeps shifting

[bansheesandrider]

I don't care how much or what kind of paint is on the swingarm or bearing carrier, if the tensioner bolts in the chain adjuster are properly adjusted and tightened the carrier should not be able to move forward, unless it slips backward first and the adjuster bolt slips out of the notch in the swingarm. The only way it can slip forward is if the tensioner bolts back off, because the tensioner bolts fit in a notch on the swingarm. I have a chrome swingarm, which is very slick and have never had this problem.Put your bike together with a good torque wrench and torque things to spec, I also use blue loctite on everything. Not only does the loctite keep things tight, it also helps prevent corrosion by taking up the space where moisture causes rust to form.
