    MaxIV popping

    My machine runs, turns, climbs hills and has plenty of power. BUT when turning to the right it makes a loud popping noise until it gets to going in a straight line again. This is a rapid succession popping noise. The axles are tight, and the sprockets appear to line up the way that they are supposed to. This just started happening last week when I let someone ride it. Any ideas?

    check to see if you have a sprockets missing some teeth or bent teeth also how tight are your chains ? tighten them up . turning right means the left is driveing check your left side chains .robbie

          Back left chain on the t20 was very very loose. Should be good to go now, it doesnt catch when pushing it in neutral anymore. Those chains are a biotch to work on under the engine. I ended up pulling the engine out to do the work. Hopefully it is fixed.

              Sometimes it can be a couple of chain sections starting to rust up. Also the tension. Those back ones need to be real tight.
              I ride a brown '96 Max 4 (skid plate, roll cage, 26" Rawhides, 20hp, custom winch and tow plates) with a 2K front winch and a 4K come-along for back up. I pack 20'tow-strap, 2 chains and 2 hooks,a jeep jack, and a big block of PT wood. Also an axe and chainsaw. And mechanic tools. I have a tote with a tarp and bungees. Spare parts. Two rifles. Hey, arent I supposed to be able to have three passengers?
