Drive Chain

Refer to

Safety Precautions

on page 94.

An endless (riveted master link) chain connects the front and rear
wheel sprockets. The O-ring chain uses rubber rings between the
side plates of the pin and roller links to seal in the manufacturer-
installed lubricating grease and keep out moisture and dirt.

The service life of the chain depends on proper lubrication and
adjustment. Poor maintenance can cause premature wear or
damage to the drive chain or sprockets.

Under severe usage, or when the ATV is ridden in unusually dusty or
muddy areas, more frequent maintenance will be necessary.

Before servicing your drive chain, turn the engine off and check that
your transmission is in neutral.

It is not necessary to remove or replace the drive chain to perform
the recommended service in the Maintenance Schedule.
