Chain Rollers

Chain Rollers: The Small Guide Wheel That Saves Your Chain and Swingarm

A chain roller is the guide wheel that keeps your drive chain running true along the swingarm. On most ATVs and dirt bikes, the lower chain roller takes the load where the chain leaves the front sprocket, holding it away from the swingarm and stopping it from slapping, sawing or jumping under acceleration. When the roller wears out or seizes, you get a noisy chain, chewed swingarm material, faster sprocket wear and, in a bad case, a chain that walks off. It is a cheap part that protects expensive ones, which is why it goes on the maintenance list every time you replace a chain and sprocket set.

What ThreePiece Stocks in Chain Rollers

There are 7 chain rollers in stock here, all with fitment data, from two brands: All Balls Racing and QuadBoss. Prices currently run from $28 to $42 - that is the live range for what is on the shelf, not a standing offer. These are lower chain rollers for powersports applications, covering vehicles from Arctic Cat, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki across model years from 1987 through 2022.

Sample vehicles include the Arctic Cat 400 DVX, the Yamaha YFM660R Raptor, the Kawasaki KLX110, the Kawasaki KEF300A/B Lakota, the Suzuki LT-230S and the Yamaha YFS200 Blaster.

How to Choose the Right Chain Roller

The main decision here is straightforward: match the roller to your exact make, model and year. A chain roller is application-specific, so the QuadBoss and All Balls Racing parts are cut for particular machines. On the Arctic Cat 400 DVX, for example, you can see both brands side by side - the QuadBoss 414473 and the All Balls Racing 79-5001 both list the 04-08 400 DVX. Where two options fit your bike, they are close in price, so pick on brand preference and availability. If your chain is slapping now, replace the roller before it grooves the swingarm; do not wait.

What Else You Need With It

A worn roller usually means the rest of the drive is due too. Pair a new roller with fresh chain components and sprockets so the whole system wears in together. While you are in the drivetrain section, it is worth checking clutch components and shift components if your machine has been through a hard season.
