timing jumped . had it in gear when u removed chain sprocket. need to align timing ears. check utube for a how to video. its not a simple job . recommend a well known shop do repairs. sorry no easy fix.
This procedure is for 200 Kawasaki Prairie 400
1:on the flywheel cover, remove the pull starter asembley so you can turn the engine over by using a wrench. on that same side, remove the timing inspection plug. it will be on teh side of teh flywheel cover, and have a large flat blade screwdriver mark or allen hole you use to unscrew it.
2:with the inspection plug removed, slowley turn the engine untill you see a "F" and a line. from there, rotate the engine very slowley untill you see a "T." JUST after the "T" there is a line. you want the mark inside the inspection plug hole to line up with that line after the "T."
3: with the bottom end now timed, you will install the cam into the head. when you set the camshaft into the head, do so with the lobes pointing directly down. after the cam is installed, then install the cam sprocket and make sure the lines on it are directly left to right. the lines will end up lining up with the level surface of the cylinder head surface. ater you have installed the cam and sprocket, look again at the inspection hole in the flywheel cover to recheck that the bottom end is still on time.
4: once the cam is installed, and the sprocket is installed on it, you will see the lobes point down, and the cam sprocket lines are from side to side. then yo uwant to install teh cy;inder head cover.
5after the head cover is installed, install the cam chain tensioner, and slowley rotate the engine to ensure the valves and piston do not contact. USE HAND TOOLS TO ROTATE ENGINE, NOT ELECTRIC STARTER!! the electric starter will cause damage if the timing is off.
14 - 41 = 2.93 ratio
15 - 46 = 3.06 ratio..
6-7 links.. you need to move the axle all the way forward when installing a new chain... (it will stretch!) moving the axle all the way forward gives you plenty of adjustment later!!
Do the nut up until the wheel stops spinning, then back it of 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn, the nut should still be contacting the washer, fit the split pin from there, the wheel should spin freely.
My first check would be the condition of the chain and sprockets. Check to make sure all of the teeth are still ok and if the tension of the chain is correct and that it is well lubed.
If the noise is more pronounced from the rear and chain and sprockets are ok, it could be the differential that has either failed bearings or damaged gears.
T is usually the mark on the flywheel and there's usually a mark on the cam sprocket and head to line up. you can google up a service manual too most likely.
Pull cover & remove nut after bending down locktab.Replace sprocket with new. Retighten with blue loctite on nut & refold locktab so it can't come loose.Readjust chain slack to 3/4 " in the middle of chain. Retighten rear housing bolts.
