    New Chain.

    ok, find a link on your back sprocket, pull on it a little, did it come off the sprocket at all? but its still tight? if so, then its time for a new chain. first, use a metal cutter, or something to snap the chain, (or you could just remove the master link), then, pull it off, and make sure your new one has a master link, and is proper size, next, remove your flywheel cover on the side of your motor, which should expose your front sprocket. now, its very important to know if your sprockets are still good or not, or you might ruin this chain again, id go ahead and replace them anyways. now, loosen the back axle and chain tensioners enough to get the chain on. clip the master link together after you are sure that the chain is on perfectly. tighten the chain tensioners, and back axle, make sure the chain has "some" tension on it and the wheel is perfectly straight. then, put your flywheel cover back on, some people replace the gasket that goes on it, but i never do because it is exposed in the back anyways. (just make sure it is water tight). now, take some 5w-30 motor oil and lightly give a coat on your new chain. from then on, i use wd-40 to lube it every ride. now, for a few days, you might have to tighten the chain just a touch because it "will" stretch. i suggest you use an o ring chain because it seals in grease and keeps out dirt. the other non-o ring chains will work just as good, but not as long. so, good luck.

    you still dont need to, or is it your bike? almost none of the modern bikes are like that.
    theres usually just a seperate plastic cover for the front sprocket

    ... the front sprocket should be visible with out taking the clutch cover off
    maybe you are thinking of the chain guard?

    If it does not move at first, get a bigger hammer!!

    wait, the sprocket is on the left, which is usually where the flywheel is.
