The liquid might of been water stuck inside the carrier...possibly. There is a gasket between tje pinch bolts that might be damaged.

Ckeck the condition off the rear sprocket teeth make sure they aent damaged. Lastly you should take apart your rear axle as the sprocket hub might be slipping on the splines

all i was trying to say is if the rear sprocket is moving or not, it's either ther rear end or at the crank... you should be able to somewhat feel it on the bike if it's at one end or the other... yes? no?

its on the rear end i just cant tell if its the sprocket or somethin to do with the bearings in the axle or somethin like tht

the liquid came out from under the bolts wen i lossened them...... if its the gasket wat will it do if i keep drivin it..... the teeth dont look like they r damaged any the chain is just real loose i need to buy a new one.....i had it on concrete blocks and had it in second gear id watch the chain on top of the back sprocket and it would bounce and then make a grinding sound.....

probably best to get the rear on a stand and try isolating the problem. should be able to tell fairly quickly ...

I have never been successful in running a chain drive on jackstands as the chain seems to load up then unload and makes a nasty clanking noise especially when i let off the throttle. When the rear wheels are on the ground (normal driving) the chain is fine. What am I doing wrong?

sounds likre the carrier bearning is out and causing the axle to run in a angle the fuild is water that sucked in over time

      1993 Suzuki King Quad 300 bucks and farts like crazy
      By hardcastle
      My friends KQ 300 starts fine and runs, as soon as you put it in gear and try to accelerate its bucks and farts like crazy, not moving... I cleaned carb and it worked good for 1 day... now back to same problem.... could it be such as a bent valve????

      98 arctic cat 300 2x4 hi rev choke when started
      By Its-always-something
      Have a 1998 AC 300 2x4, Just installed a new carburetor. Engine starts easy but the choke RPMs are very hi and take along time (5-10 mins when cold out). After engine has warmed up choke releases and it idles and runs fine., It does no have an electric choke. The choke lever is never used and it seems like an auto choke? Long story short, how can I lower the choke rpm levels?
       
      Also, carb came with a spare145 jet, not 100% sure what is installed. Could this impact choke RPMs?
       
       
      Any help and information greatly appreciated.

      Have you ever purchased a quad from an impound auction?
      By DarkRider
      This is something I'm extremely curious about. Has anyone ever attempted to buy a quad (or any other vehicle) from an impound lot? I've always wondered if this could be a bargain, or a waste of time. Google searches do turn up some helpful results. Looks like the state of NJ holds auctions online which I'd be a bit hesitant about.
       
      My online searches haven't really turned up any results of anyone buying an ATV this way. I'd be really curious if anyone tried this, or knows someone who has. I've actually found a couple pages with online auctions for my state, but none had ATVs.

      chain press for 500 Scrambler

      Hello, would this be a good Master Link tool for pressing master link plate back on? I've seen others made of aluminum but thought this one might hold up better. Thanks! 🙂

      2005 500 Scrambler having trouble identifying timing mark
      By p5200
      I'm having trouble identifying Mark. I know where the mark is in the Stator cover. Is the T at about, the 12 o'clock position in this photo? I've got to buy another Stator cover as the one I have has a hole at the bottom of it. Due to failing eyes, I have a lot of trouble anymore. Thanks! 🙂
