2008 - ZONGSHEN DB200XT

hodgmike · 06-14-2012, 09:46 PM

I have just purchased a DB200XT for my son to learn to ride and it keeps throwing the chain. The length of the chain is good but when wrapped on the rear sprocket there is a little play in the very rear. I am thinking the chain is not the right size and see online that there are 2 different ones a 428 and a 420.

Can someone tell me which is correct? Thanks

I don't know for sure, but my guess is 428. I've never heard of a 200cc bike with a 420 chain.

Two questions.
Is the wheel straight?
Does it have a chain guide?

My Xmotos 250 had a hella crooked chain guide. The wheel had to be crooked or it would throw the chain. I took the guide off, bent it outward and problem solved.
Now my rear tire isn't all cock eyed either.
