Drive Chain (DVX)
Drive chain condition and adjustment
should be inspected each day before you
ride. Always follow the guidelines below
for inspecting and servicing the drive chain.
Inspecting Condition
Inspect the drive chain for any of the fol-
lowing conditions.
• Loose pins
• Loose or cracked rollers
• Dry or rusted links
• Kinked or binding links
• Excessive wear
The presence of any of the conditions
requires drive chain replacement. Take
the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV
dealer for this service.
NOTE: If the drive chain is worn
or damaged, the sprockets may
also be worn or damaged. Inspect
the sprockets for worn, broken, or
damaged teeth. Always inspect the
sprockets when a new drive chain
is being installed.
Cleaning and Lubricating
The drive chain should be cleaned and
lubricated frequently to prolong chain
and sprocket life. Use the following pro-
cedure to clean and lubricate the chain.
NOTE: This ATV is equipped with
an O-ring type roller chain. Each
link incorporates small O-rings to
seal out water and dirt. Care should
be taken to choose cleaning solu-
tions and lubricants that are suit-
able for O-ring chains.
1. Using a suitable, nonflammable
cleaning solution, thoroughly wash
the chain and sprockets.
2. Allow the chain to dry; then apply a dry,
graphite-based lubricant to the chain.
The drive chain should be lubricated with
a dry, graphite-based chain lubricant. By
using a dry, graphite-based chain lubri-
cant, dirt buildup on the drive chain will
be minimized.
Adjusting Tension
To adjust the drive chain tension, use the
following procedure.
