[pitkendall]

need some help if u can i put this warrior back together and it ben so long since i took it apart i cant rember how the chain goes on the front roller by the output shaft does it go over the rol;ler or under thanks

are you talking about the top or bottom roller? For the Top it goes below, and for the bottom it goes above. You want the chain to be going as straight as possible, and if you put it around the roller it won't be and will actually be riding on the roller the entire time (which is bad and nothing will last). The purpose of the rollers are to keep the chain in line and guide it if need be with the vertical travel of the swing arm

Ditto, if the chain isn't running in a straight line from sprocket to sprocket you've got it wrong, if you have it routed wrong it should be pretty obvious. Under the top one, around the front sprocket, over the bottom one, thru the chain guide, and around the rear sprocket - loop completed.
