Ok, so I was having problems with my chain constantly riding on the lower roller, so I cut the roller off, and re-adjusted the chain to the free-play I normally do. I discovered that with about 1 inch of play, the chain gets tight when the suspension is only compressed about half way. I need to let like 2 inches of free play in the chain for my suspension to travel all the way. I also noticed that the chain is also constantly riding on the chain roller that's on the swingarm pivot. Upon further inspection, the chain is also riding on the chain guide right in front of the rear sprocket. So now i'm like WTF! WTF am I supposed to do with this ******* thing? Either the chain is too tight or too loose, nothing in between, and i'll be replacing ******* chain rollers every 2 hours if they even last that long. WTF am I doing wrong!?! I never heard anybody with the rappy shock mention all this ****, so I figure there must be something i'm overlooking, or somehow everybody else with their shock doesn't hear their chain going rerr rerr rerr rerr whenever they let off the gas. DAMMIT!

i'm gonna go break something now
 
we have the same problem, just tighten the chain to the right ammount, it will travel all it needs, i havent had a problem sence we tightened it last time......but im sure we will have the same problem when we get ours sence we are bolth allready expriencing the same thing
