Max IV clunks in reverse

[upmep]

Just bought a max iv and found out it had trouble shifting. Got some good advice from maximum offroad and RI and I replaced the shift lever on t20. While I had it apart I tightened chains. Now it shifts very well but it clunks at times when in reverse maybe a small amount also when in forward. Could I have possibly got them too tight? I tried to go by what the manual said. I only lifted the rear off the ground when I adjusted maybe thats the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

The manual recommends all six wheels up for adjustment or at least one side at a time.there needs to be a little bit of slack in them,also what condition are your sprockets in?

If you are talking about a clunk when it drops into reverse or forward it is normal for a t-20. Mine has done it since it was new. if you are talking about clunking once it's in gear AND YOUR MOVING IN REVERSE THAT'S ANOTHER MATTER.

clunks

Thank you for replying to my post. The sprockets all look good to me. It clunks when its moving. It seems ok when shifting. I think this weekend I will try to get all wheels off the ground to check the tension.

Just a thought.........does it have o-ring chain in good lubed condition?regular chain could seize at certain links and cause clunking........and.......a wheel bearing can make noise if the rollers are piling up.
