06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Alright well last weekend was the first ride with all my new parts installed. Quad ran great and handled great. Until i realized my chain had been rubbing up against my skidplate. Causing a groove in the skidplate from the chain. I removed the skidplate and continued to ride. After inspecting things i realized my chain roller, the one that covers the swingarm. #10 in the first pic. Had completley worn away to the point where its paper thin. So i ordered another one (stock). Only reason being i difnt wanna wait for a aftermarket one to come in. After 10 mins of riding the roller is paper thin again!!!!! Is this just stock garbage parts? Or is my chain fucked from rubbing against the skid plate? And somehow cutting threw this roller? The chain feels fine, smooth and everythig. Where can i get a aftermarket one? Amd what is causing this!!!!!???? Thanks for your input in advance! This is it new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I wouldnt say its too tight, it has 1 1/2" of slack, is that too tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I am running stock size sprokets front and back. And the upper and lower rollers are stock, but in fine shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Like fit two fingers snug against the swingarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have 1.5" of slack at the middle of the chain with me sitting on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Anyone have pics of a aftermarket slider set up? Was my chain to loose or too tight? Or is my chain. Fucked from Rubbing against the skid plate. I do t want this to happen again!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Lower the rear of the bike down. Loosen up your coil adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickisGod Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) I never like that chain slide. Get one of the long track chain slides. We have a similar ride setup im just 70lbs lighter than u. I think modquad makes them they work alot better if u ask me Edited July 9, 2012 by NickisGod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ya j dont think the chain slack is the problem. Zilla freak what kind of slider is that? And how exactly would the mod quad one get mounted? Which one of these two should i order? The second one looks similar to a dirtbike style slider. I wanna be able to ride for more than 10 mins:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks zilla freak. Ya i think i may go with the TM designworks. I would hate to have to replace the chain, its a brand new o ring chain!!! But if its causing it to eat through the rollers then i have no choice. It feels smooth, if it was cuttin through u think it would slice my finger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ya thats a good idea with the sand paper, i mean its brand new, would hate for it to be hrown away. On the other hand i wouldnt want it doing the same hing to a aftermarket roller. I really hope that the problem is that the stock roller is garbage.

06BCBANSHEE Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Well hopefully this solves the problem. I ordered the TM designworks chain slider kit, the onr that zillafreak posted. I also ordered a TM case saver as well. I really hope this solves the problem. Ill be pissed if this happens again. It comes with a 1 yr warranty as well. My chain feels smooth so i dont think its necessary to replace it. Does having a -1.5 swingarm put extra stress on the rollers? And is 1.5" of freeplay in the middle if the chain the right amount? Thats with me sitting on it. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yes there is more stress on the rollers with -1.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
