I had a 1999 400 2 stroke I beat the chit out of it and it kept taking it. The only problem I had is it would brake the plastic washers on top of the front strut. Then the shock would flop around and make noise. As for the chain make it tight. It not like a dirt bike where it gets tighter as the suspension moves, it stays the same tension all the way through the suspension travel.

Might want to swap the front tires because right now there backwards lol And I've never seen one with a front rack before? Nice to see someone else running older iron! I've got a 02 sportsman 500 that seems like a dinosaur compared to what everyone on here rides
