hot sprocket

[TacicalRedneck]

Ok so last night I tightened my chain up tighyened the pinch bolts back up verry tight today I'm riding and my chain is flopping. I need to buy a chain roller the chain has been grinding off part of my swingarm. Also felt my rear sprocket there was shavings and grease all inside it and it was hot.

What's my problem?

see if the axle bearings or swing arm bearings are bad. you could have tightened the chain up but after moving the 4 wheeler, the slop in the bearings could have shifted the sprockets closer together. with in that shift it could be causing the chain to run at an angle, grinding the sides of the sprockets and leaving shavings, plus the heat.

yep sounds like you had axle bearings out of it already, overtightened the chain and completely tore them out. Shavings are likely your bearing races and you better hope you didnt grind through those and into your carrier, i've seen that before and it's not pretty.
