Is this a 50cc, 150cc or 300cc? If it's a 150cc I can help you, if not you will have to count the teeth and or get in touch with JIM from RapidRepair and he can get in touch with ICE BEAR for the poop. In either case get a quality chain the cheap ones will either break or stretch out to quickly. Alleyoop I put on a D.I.D chain and has been on for years. sprocketcenter.com/index.php/motorcycle-chains/did-chains.html |

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]Thanks Alleyoop that is the same chain I was looking at so that is good news. I asked superiorpowersports about chain they say they have to get ahold of manufacture RIGHT so you have a 150cc trike I have a 300cc magnum trike would the chain size be the same except number of links I was looking at D.I.D. chain 520vx2 would that be right chain ? THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP . .

To be honest Jopp, I cannot say yes or no, mine takes the 428 and I had to cut about 6 links off the length. Always better to get a longer one than a shorter one. Alleyoop But to get the chain size of what yours takes here is how-to: www.gizmology.net/sprockets.htm |

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]ALLEYOOP I was wondering how many links your chain has? on 300 magnum I count 58 ?I chatted with d.i.d. the measurements I gave them is a #525 chain cheaper to buy 1 chain of 120 links an cut it in half since there is a minimum # of 100 links for  dollars so buy 120 links for 108 dollars an have a spare . |

2012 300CC MAGNUM just had a machinist come over to measure to see what went wrong here is what we found the front sprocket is for a 530 width an the rear sprocket is cut to a 525 width so have to grind down front sprocket thickness so sprocket can fit in chain seeing it is cheaper to grind then buy a another new chain seeing I cut this one already this I why the old chain wore out so fast an wore the front sprocket on its edges will let you know how I make out

WOW!! You should complain to ICE BEAR, I am telling you do it, they may have the right size Front Sprocket after others may have found the same problem. Or complain to whoever you bought it from but I would complain to ICE BEAR if the seller does not intervene.

2012 ICEBEAR MAGNUM so the chain did not fit front sprocket but fit rear so ground about .0040 in on hub side of front sprocket now works good no grinding clean running BUT the chain now has no adjustment left so if it stretches I will have to cut the slots longer towards the front an then cut a link off because if I cut link off now it does not fit, chain to small with adjustment all the way in so all is well for now... THANKS FOR THE HELP

HUH!! You know you can rotate the ENTIRE AXLE right?? You unscrew the adjusters the same amount of turns you then loosen the bolts on ALL the brackets: To Loosen the chain you PULL UP on the Part that has the Trailer hitch. To Tighten the chain you PUSH DOWN on the Part that has the Trailer hitch. Then you SNUGE UP the BRACKET BOLTS and then SNUGE up the Adjusters making sure the chain is ALIGNED with the Front and Rear Sprocket. Once your satisfied then you TIGHTEN the BRACKET BOLTS up GOOD. I use a Straight edge to align the chain with the front and rear sprocket. Alleyoop  |

Ya mine is a little different then pic but you loosen all 8 bolts an 4 adjusters but when you put the barrels together with master link you have one at max adj one to short with axel all the way in. I figure the chain never fit front sprocket that is y the tip of teeth on front sprocket were ground down . so all is fine just have to cut adj slots so I can push axel forward an remove a link so I have adjustment
