Chain breaking issue

[atcandbanshees]

I'm going to add more rubber engine dampers see if that's helps the chain issue and make sure there is no binding. Do u think adding a roller tensioner would help since I'm running a +12

Definitely run a tensioner. I'd run one on anything more than a +6...

Ok I'll give it a shot sorry for the random new post but for some reason my last one was deleted so couldn't use it anymore

I put 4 dampers on mine, couldn't see where it could hurt. (didn't see where the factory 2 could help)

my boy had a problem where his chain whould break every time the swing arm was miss aligned like a 16th of an inch.in the front. check it out. we used a string to check it.

Ok

Does it ever sound like your trans is popping? Which is many times your chain popping on the front sprocket as it is kinda trying to climb over and pop off the sprocket. It can do it while riding slow with no load and that would be swingarm alignment. If it does it when you have a load and are accelerating that can be motor tweaking. You can add extra stock washers like the rear motor mount has and add then to the front. I had to get Stellars adjustable bottom motor mount struts. They fixed my problems. $55 well spent.

All that Radar said can also happen with a loose chain. The popping that is. Maybe invest in better chains.

It does Make ratcheting noise when launching I'm gonna buy those grommets and try that along with spring roller tensioner

If you dont have the extra half washers in the front get them and put them in the front mounts. They come stock only in the rear bolt.

Actually from the factory they are on the left of the front bolt and on the right of the rear bolt.

better chain

If you're hearing the popping noise, you need to inspect your sprockets and chain tightness.

 

I've never run a tensioner with my +14, but some people swear by them.

I am with loco, I run a +14 swingarm and have never used a chain tensioner.  Maybe I'm just lucky...

Nah, you just keep your chain adjusted properly and use quality shit.
