Here is my problem
all day long I could heere something in the rear making a grinding or popping sound on hard acceleration or turning sharply and accelerating
The chain and sprokret look fine, maybe it is in the carrier, any ideas.....

do you oil your chain everyride?

 

Put it up on jack stands and wiggle the rear axel. If it moves around them your bearings in the carrier are bad. I would also check to see if you have something stuck in your chain guide or if it needs to be adjusted. Do your lube your chain and grease your carrier regularly? I had clanking sound coming from mine. The chain looked OK but I replaced it anyways and that took care of the problem. I also added a chain tensionor. Did you check to see if your were missing any rollers on the chain???

 

Its not coming from worn or crappy pivot bearings? just a thought.

 

Hi i had the same problem with my trail boss. The problem was the chain guide. To help the problem I lube a lot and I adjust the chain guide so the chain rests almost on the bottom of the guide so that with no one on the quad it grinds but when i sit on the quad the tension lifts the chain up off the guide a little. When I give it some gas the chain finally stops grinding the guide. ...I hope this helps
