This procedure is the same for both sides of the ATV.
Chain
Your ATV is chain driven and should be periodically lubricated with lithium spray. The chain
may make some clicking noises, this is
normal
. Always inspect, maintain or adjust the chain,
if necessary, before each ride. Riding with a chain in poor condition or one improperly
adjusted, can lead to serious injury. If you have a loose, wobbly or falling off chain, which
may happen over time from stretching with use, it will need to be tightened. Before
adjusting the chain, make sure the motor is cool.
Do not touch the motor after use. The
motor will be, or can be, very hot.
To tighten your chain, first loosen, but don’t remove, the four nuts(a) securing the motor to
the frame. (2 in front and 2 in behind) Once loosened the tensioners located in front of the
motor can be adjusted to shift the motor forward tightening the chain. One at a time,
turning clockwise, tighten the nut(b) on each chain tensioner, ensuring to tighten each side
an equal amount. Adjust both tensioners equally until the chain is properly snug, do not over
tighten your chain. Once your adjustments are complete retighten the 4 nuts(a) you
previously loosened. Now is also a great time to lubricate your chain.
