Make sure you have your chain tightened to the correct specs. You have all the rollers and chain guards on your quad I am assuming. Another good thing to check is that your axle adjustments are lined up after the chain is close to the specs.
Rule of thumb with the sprockets and chains are, when you replace one, you replace all. This prevents any abnormal wear on the sprockets and chain.
Few questions, When was the last time you changed your chain? When was the last time you adjusted your chain?

RAPTOR CHAIN PROBLEM OR CLUELESS IN UTAH
it is the stock chain i think. i bought the quad from a dentist who never rode it maybe 20 hours scared him he went to a grizzly but i got the bike with a 12 tooth front i havent counted the teeth on the rear but i think the back is a stock 40 tooth i tighten the chain after i put the new front sprocket on it and it was fine or so i thought i also lined up the marks on the back so they were even with each other does the marks have to be in the middle or as long as both sides are the same? ill probably drive up to rockymountainatv tommorow and get a new chain and rear sprocket any opions on the primary drive line of sprockets?im goin to get a steel rear,what about their chains?how often do you have to adjust your chain?
thanks for all your help

1 See if your axle nuts are tight
2 Jack up the back end grab the axle and see if there is any movement between the axle and the axle housing.
Not bad job but if it is the bearings. Theres a spacer in between, its cheap and should be replaced w/ the bearings
