Default 2001 kawasaki Lakota Chain Popping

I was recently riding my Lakota and broke my chain roller on a rock and i went to Busco beach and then my chain began to pop. I adjusted it and rode for only about 20 minutes and the popping got worse. I also noticed i needed axle bearings because every once and a while it will start to squeak. And when i went to tighten my chain up once again it wouldnt because of the axle play. But my question is does any one think my chain roller and axle bearings is the reason my chains pops so bad and i also have a brandnew primary drive front and rear sprockets and new o-ring chain. I don't even have no where near 20 miles on the new parts.

i would tend to think so. maybe....
but look at the teeth on the sprockets and see if they are starting to get wear prematurely. there may be some marring taking place. hopefully it's not doing that. it may be just catching the top of each tooth and slamming down in the groove between the teeth causing the popping sounds.
next thing would be to replace the bearings or just get a new axle assembly.
