Having problems keeping the chain on, keeps getting lose and coming off. What do I need to do?

I'm not a Chinese ATV owner but worn or defective swingarm bushings are a common source of chain issues in this breed.

It could also be a crappy chain and/or sprockets.

I should have mentioned that, I already replaced the bushings.

make sure your sprockets are in line,if you tighten one side too much it will make it come off.I just replaced my bushings with some that I made out of teflon.I have no more chain issues..make sure the bolts that hold the swing arm to the axle carrier are tight also.

you have to make sure the rear axles are straight.... measure from the front to the rear ( from rim to rim) and do that to both sides.. they have to be the same( within 1/4 ) otherwise the chain does not run straight.. I do this on all my atvs that I sell.. many are not straight

If you put the rear sprocket on the wrong way, it won't line up right. I did that the first time I changed the bushings on my sons Mini Hummer 110cc. I caught it after I looked directly at the alignment of the sprockets and chain. Turned the rear sprocket around and all was good. Hope this helps.

Now if I could just ride and stop working!
