cbn70 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I guess it sounds like I am one of the many that have had this problem too. It only seems to happen in the sand. Never in the mud or on a hard packed road. I thought if it was the chain skipping on the sprocket, the rear sprocket would be missing teeth, or the teeth would be rounded off. This does not seem to be happening. Also thought it was the sprocket carrier slipping on the axle, but marked it and it is not. Also if this was happening, the splines on the axle should be stripped by now. I have an aftermarket skid plate on it, and can only sumise that it is sand building up and going through the rear sprocket. I am hopefully going to take off the skid plate and try riding it this weekend and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellride96 Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 check your sprocket condition. that popping can happen when your suspension is compressed on a hard take off. whats happening is your chain is jumping teeth on the sprocket. if your chain is a little too loose and the sprocket work its very possible for the chain to jump teeth. thats exactly what it feels like, my rear sprockets teeth are getting curved, i will go ahead and replace it since its already off. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellride96 Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 thats exactly what it feels like, my rear sprockets teeth are getting curved, i will go ahead and replace it since its already off. thanks also looking at my splines on the axle and hub, neither one of them are really worn or rolled. splines are still squared not stripped. im going to replace the rear sprocket, mark the hub on the axle to see if it spins, check my motor mounts( i just swapped the crank 3 weeks ago) and go from there and let you guys know what i find. any other info ill take also thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banshee2906 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I had this problem with mine when I had the stock swinger on it. I found that unless the carrier bolts were tight as a mf'er, the carrier would someone slip forward while riding. Then when I would either jump and gas it hard upon landing or take off hard on pavement, the carrier would slam back against the adjuster bolts. This produced a wicked sounding pop. I was sure something was shelling out the first time I heard it. May be something to look into. i had the same problem with mine on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
