Chain Guard

[Dinner]

Hey, after i put my banshee all back together, i was changing sprockets and shortening my chain, i took off the white chain support (stock swingarm), and i was just wondering if its alright to run it without it

 

Thanks, Dinner

I have don't have one and ive never had a problem

if your talking about the rear chain guide, i would keep it on, it guides the chain onto the sprocket ,ever see what a chain that jumps off the sprocket does to you engine case, they are like 12 bucks new.

 

if your talking about the front it stops the chain from rubbing on the swing arm

 

i dont see why you wouldnt want run them

Yea the chain guide at the back...I forgot to put it back on, i shortened my chain to fit my gearing better, will the guide tighten it at all

run it if you can. It'll help your chain stay on if you get into something weird. But you can live without it. Don't let your chain get too much slack

Yea i was looking at it tonight and ill be able to get it on easily, so ill put it back on

i'd keep it on. i'm sure you'll see shorter chain and sprocket life without it.
