So, with bicycles, you should never replace the chain without replacing the gear sets too. Is this true with four wheelers? I am replacing the chain on at least one of these bad boys. I also need to rebuild the rear brake caliper on the 2006. Do these things have oil filters? Hopefully picking them up tonight. Tick tock, tick tock.
Chain is worn, sprockets are worn to match... If you put a new chain on it, the worn sprockets will tear it up in no time flat... Get a good o-ring chain, it will last a long time with proper care. May want to try them out for proper gearing for your intended use prior to purchasing new sprockets. One tooth up or down on the drive sprocket is usually all it takes to make a pretty good difference.
I already got the chain. It is a good O-ring type. Wondering if I should go ride it this weekend with the old sprockets or just go get new ones now. I am sure we will be putting lots of miles on them.
