just a quick question. I put my chain on yesterday and it was way too long. I bought it too big by mistake. So i grinded off two links. When i put the chain back on it fit but the adjusters are at 3. Should they be at 1 or 2 or is 3 ok?

I wouldn't think that having the snail cam adjusters at 3 would hurt anything - you would have a little less room for the chain to stretch is the only downside.

I just put on a new 108 link chain with 13/48 sprockets.

The adjusters are at "1"

It looks like it will work fine. I cant believe the huge power difference the bike has with the new chain. it is a hole new beast. I can even beat my friends 250Sx in a race.
