Default Magnum 425 chain help!!

my chain recently snapped on my fourwheeler and i was wondering if there is any way to fix them because its only about 4 or 5 months old. If not what size chain do i need and what would you reccomend for mainly mud riding. Also how do i know i i need knew sprockets or not and which of those do you reccomend. Thanks in advance for the help.

i would think that is the same size chain as teh scramblers and the sports right a 520 o ring? o-ring means that each link has an o ring at each joint to seal in the oil anbd greese and help keep out water if yours doesn'n make sure you get one. and it might be a good idea to get a spare on ebay they are around 40 bucks. and you can get all sorts of colors just search 520 chain and look for teh ones that say o ring or serch 520 o-ring chain. i have a blue one on my sport and a red one on my scrambler.

And keep and eye on the chain tension. That is probably the main thing I hate about my 95 425 Magnum is that you're always having to mess around with the chain. It's a pain to adjust and I hate messing with it. I've got spare chains and spare sprockets stashed away in the garage because I know eventually I'm going to need them eventually.

yea i hate the adjusting of the chain. on my 1998 400 sport it is impossible i have it as loose as possible were the chain skipps if i hit the front breaks and hit the gas but it is tighter than a winch cable when it is compressed.
