Oil change question

ultracajun · 06-24-2008, 11:02 AM

My son has an atv 125 with a 3 speed semi auto w/ reverse.

I notice thier are two drain plugs under the engine. I do I know which one is the motor oil drain?

On another matter, I've had to tighten the chain twice on this thing. Is this something thats common? (chain stretching)

The china chain is very low quality and will stretch quick. You may want to spend alittle money and upgrade it before the sprockets are worn.

Not sure on the plugs, but both may drain.

where the rear hub is you will see 4 bolts to loosen then 2 bolts for the chain tentioner,
put some star washers on the 4 bolts these are also used to tighten the chains, but is used to remove the axle once out of the way

like kato said change out the china chain, a good idea :idea:
