Can someone please tell me how do i keep the chain on the front sprocket that holds the chain on. i just purchased this atv from an original owner and when i took it off the truck and backed it up the chain and small front star sprocket fell off. i took the cover plate off and put the chain and star sprocket back on but it keeps coming off. is there a clamp that snaps on where the sprocket mounts or does the cover plate supposed to be close enough to keep it from coming off? I also would like to know if any one can send me the service manual for my atv model number peace tpatv516-110

thanks !

 

do you have 2 of these on your rear axle? if so, these are the chain adjustments. is your chain straight from the front sprocket to the rear sprocket? alignment and tension is key here. is your front sprocket worn down or worn out? is the chain in decent shape or is it stretched and in need of replacement? just a few questions to help you line this machine out. the cover plate should be sufficient.

 

thanks for responding. it is a 2010 and has not been rode much. it was rode yesterday before i bought it and worked fine. the chain looks goods and may need adjusting a little. yes i have two

 

not much to say as far as adjustment goes. just make sure the sprockets are in line with each other. measure if you have to so as to keep the axle plumb. chain doesn't have to be super tight. i know you know the suspension will move and you must have room for the chain to move as the suspension moves. good luck.

 

Here is a picture of the front sprocket on my 2007 peace sports 110cc atv

 

the front sprocket should never fall off.. the retainer is on in the pic above this post, it has two bolts on it

if that is there, and the sprocket falls off it is either broken or the output shaft is messed up

if it is missing it should only cost you a couple bucks and you will be up and running again

 

thanks a bunch to all who have responded and thanks again for the picture. i will order. i have found a reputable parts store in motorpartsmax.com to anyone who is interested very affordable and secure.

 

I am looking at how the chain is kinked up, maybe it just needs a good dose of WD-40 to clean it up and then some chain lube to free it up.
