Check the chain tension through out the travel of the swing arm / suspension.
Check by pushing on the grab bar.....

Good luck.

well first what yr is the bike? the 04-05 can use the pep chain roller that goes up on subframe. it could be used on all yr kickers.

then get a tm designs chain roller this will help keep the chain on track with the sprocket.

just my 2 cents. hope it helps

my chain was coming off a lot for a while and it was because of worn sprockets

Get the after market upper chain roller that mounts on the subframe. It put tension on the chain when the rear shock is fully compressed. I have one and it seemed to fix my problem.
