Coming back from beach other day the transmission chain was fully covered with sea sand. So I decided to give a thorough cleaning. Shankaranna got it washed with diesel and cleaned with compressed air.
I never miss a opportunity to locate the suitable indigenous spare part. I found that chain is 47 inches long consisting of 47 links. So took the chain link to the small spare part shop nearby.
We found the ROLON R 428H chain link coming as spare for Pulsar bike is suitable. Though I do not anticipate the need, I have one chain link as spare now.

ATV Spare parts
Spare parts for imported vehicles and machinery are always matter of concern. We can never get original spare parts. By looking around we can always get good enough substitutes. Improvising attitude approach is very much essential.
The long bolt that attaches the engine to the frame was broken sometime back. I went with broken component to spare parts shop in nearby Vittal town to search for a suitable replacement. None of the motorcycle bolts were suitable with bigger dimensions. Finally located the bolt holding M80 moped engine to the frame but it was little longer. It was not a problem and I used that. .
I always have been alert for all malfunctioning components. The electrical components you get from China are not of top quality & I had known that before importing ATV from various ATV discussion forums. Have successfully replaced consumables like spark plug. CD units and starter solenoid.
Engine design of this ATV is very similar to Hero Street motorcycle that was in market sometime back. I have studied closely spending considerable amount of time in local Hero Honda showroom and find close resemblance in clutch and gear box design. This is also very similar to a spanish ATV that I was very keen to import and following link gives its spare parts list.

Hero Street, Spanish ATV and my Chinese ATV has exactly same engine and gear box design. This cannot be said of models with different engine sizes. The dimension could vary a bit that can be known only when we get down to repairs. This should not face any problem as I see it.
