That's where I ride. You see how thick my sprocket guard is don't ya lol. Last trip out I heard something rattling so I had to get off and check it out... The back 2 bolts of the 4 that hold my sprockt guard assembly pulled right out of the swingarm. I just wrapped a bungee cord around it until I get around to welding beefier nuts on. But that's how punishing those rocks can be. I bet its every bit as powerful as a tommy gun unloading on the bottom of my quad everytime I go up there.
It was aluminum apoxied, ground down, and repainted. You can hardly tell

Just showing how friction makes the chain not want to turn at the bottom and then not wanting to go straight again after the turn... and this chain was as loose as an overcooked soaking wet spaghetti noodle! Imagine if the chain had orings.
If I ever find myself bored on a jobsite with a tape measure in my hand, sometimes I find out how far I can extend the tape without it snapping and falling to the ground. Sometimes I can get 7 or 8ft if its a sturdy tape. Well, I do the same thing with oring chains lol. I can get a good 5 or 6 inches out there anyway lol.

What state you in? Last time i went up into the mountians i had my chain set pretty perfect. A few hours in it was stretched out so far i couldn't adjust the adjusters anymore. I started hearing this ripping noise. the chain was so stretched it was trying to keep turning around the rear sprocket till it ran out of slack than would pull itself off. I was getting kinda nervous so i didn't ruin my already ruined mag cover. I got some of this military aluminum apoxy (jb weld on huge steriods) came out amazing looks brand new!
