ok im putting my new chain on my banshee along with sprockets , well its right in between two links, like if i keep this one in its to long and sloppy, no matter how much adjusting i do, and same if i take out, it is to tight like i maybe could barely put it together, what should i do?

pull one link and use 2 master links.check to see that the chain fits well in the sprocket teeth.

adjust the axle all the way forward first, then stretch the chain onto the two links next to each other on the sprocket, then add the master link onto the chain while the two end links are still being held onto the sprocket with your fingers.
then ride a bit, then adjust.

The adjusters move enough in either direction to take the slack of 2 links.
The only thing I can think of that you're doing wrong is, what you consider sloppy, is the correct chain slack.
Banshee's have very long swingarms, so the chain slack is greater than most other vehicles.
Read your owners manual.
Better yet, read your shop manual.

go back to your supplier and make sure you were given the right chain and sprockets. if you got the right ones have a good look and make sure nobody "modified" the adjusters or anything else.ride safe everybody
