hey guys got another ? bout my ex..... today i was losenin up the bolts on the back of the swing arm to tighten my chain and a bunch of liquid started runnin out..... it ran out for like 5 min any idea wat tht is?

Also i have been having problems with the sprockets feelin like they r slipping..... today i was tryin to make sure the loose chain and wore sprockets were the problem...... i held in the front brake and started to take off slowly and the back by the sprocket was makin a grinding sound but chain doesnt look like it is slipppin at all....... wen i am turnin it gets worse any ideas wat tht might be?

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

It would be kinda hard for your sprocket to slip since its bolted on !!

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?

wat do i need to do take off the sprocket and everything to get to them?

Don`t do anything until you get a manual on it ! Then you can read step by step on how to do it !! Check it first ! to make sure its the problem !! I`m just guessing on the problem by what i`ve read here !

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?

      Chain guard solution 1987 Quadrunner LT230E
      By Yamahahahaha
      I'm in the middle of repairing damage from the chain coming off of this from the previous owner. (I learned this is somewhat common on these for various reasons.)
      What are you guys using to either help keep the chain correct and on the sprocket or guarding your engine in the case that it comes off / breaks?
      Is there an upgraded guard that can bolt around the sprocket in replacement of the currently broken OEM alluminum?

      Another FNG
      By BruinBeater
      Hey all, BruinBeater here.  Just joined up from the Pittsburgh, PA area.
      Got a Polaris Sportsman 1000 and a 570 in the garage that don't get ridden quite enough but looking forward to a family trip this fall.
      I'm the unofficial mechanic of the extended family.  In the past month or so I've replaced a transmission in a Chevy Silverado, rust repair on a Chevy Malibu, electrical repair on a Subaru Crosstrek, overheating issue solved on a Can Am Commander, and right now I have a pair of Grizzly and a Bruin 350 in the garage.  Both have a no start condition and have been sitting for 2+ years.

      Choke problems 2000 Suzuki quadrunner 500
      By Jason39
      I’m having a issue with my choke when its on it runs fine when I cut the choke off the atv cuts off went to take the carburetor off and saw the choke plunger broke at the nut to screw it in could this be my issue? Do I just need to buy a plunger kit and put it on? I took the carburetor off and cleaned both jets anyway just to make sure and it’s still having issues staying on
