welcome to the forums.

Not sure what you mean by everything in rear end is tight. Does the chain have much slack in it? If you can get the chain on without adjusting anything than there is way too much slack there. Changing sprockets and chains are something you should learn when you ride wheelers. No, it's not that big of a deal.

If your chain is falling off then it is one of the following: chain is way too loose, rear end is not straight by the chain adjusters, or the rear axle bearings are worn out and when you hit the gas your axle ***** to the front which causes your chain to become slack.

yea i had the same problem with my warrior when i got it. the bolt holes were stripped out and the rear end was an inch off and when i hit the throttle my axle shifted up and to the left and my chain came off broke smacked against the motor and broke off the chain guard fin. luckaly it didn't split my case.

Yep, 01bansheerider you better get that fixed before your chain pops off at high speed or RPM and busts your casing.

you got it used...it may be possible that the previous owner had the motor out and has it cocked a little...any slight out of alignment will throw a chain, but as these guys were saying, at higher speeds you may get into big trouble if it pops off then

well as long as your somewhat mechanicly inclined...you should try and get a manual for the shee because it will help you for this and it will help you for other things also
