600 2 seat not really a panther

Honestly I think the problem he has is there is not enough "wrap" around the forward sprocket, under load if you look, the chain will travel out forward from the front sprocket effectively leaving only a few teeth to contact the chain, enough rpm and the chain will literally fly off the sprocket. I think a tensioner under the fromt sprocket will solve your problem, and add a couple links to the chain for cooling at the same time, and start it tight but not too tight for the first try so it can stretch a little but still stay on...just my $.02

Looks like plenty of wrap to me, it shouldn't be slipping, does look to loose tho, the shifting problem from here looks like the linkage is hitting the chain, not allowing it to move far enuff to shift, try taking the chain off and see if it shifts...may be able to clock the shift arm on the splines a little and get it to work... add a tensioner at the bottom off the chain, with that motor the chain should last somewhat reasonable time, unless its a 100mph duning machine, carry a spare chain along tho, as it is really to short for any long life...

It wraps now by George.  Moved the tank and radiator.  Now I need a fuel pump as it below the carbs.  Off to a party for 1 of my girls friends.
She picked the shift knob w/diamonds, and still wants to paint lime green & yellow.

was the linkage hitting the chain?

Isn't there a Suzuki quad plant in Rome?  I've been in that plant and I believe also a Honda watercraft plant.
Been a while back though. They were getting ready to build the Vinson. I think I was at a Kabota plant near there also.  Hey Bug, are you moving or visiting?

Visiting, I dont like Ga enuff to move...heading down over Thanksgiving...

Hard to believe, but Atlanta traffic is worse than here.

[Admin]

Ga was just not appealing to me, Id rather be in Tenn or the Carolina,s etc...Time will tell what i do...

[Carlriddle]

Suzuki, Honda car parts, Pirelli and yes Kubota just north in Calhoun.  Jasper is now just a north Atlanta surburb.  Probably a few more here and just north with the Volkswagon plant coming to Chatt, TN.

Can't believe I'm having such a time finding a fuel pump.  Was thinking in 3-4 psi, only need to lift 2-3 inches???

Don't weld stuff you might want/need to move too damn good, Cause you play hell getting it back off.  Like to have destroyed the tank mount brackets.
