Yesterday I had the great experience of my chain snapping at just over 100mph whilst accelerating. I knew the chain was knakered anyway, but thought "I'm sure it'l last a few more thousand" and it did.. About 2k after the front sproket started "clicking" if you've had a worn out chain and sprokets you'll know the sound.
Anyway, has anyone else out there experienced this most joyous of events and how did you sort it? the chain has obliterated the hugger and cracked the under side of the rear fairing bit, but of most concern is the hole which the chain has punched in the engine block bitty (duno correct name)the hole is about 1cm X the width of the chain in size in addition the sprocket cover has been cracked aswell. :violin:
Apart from the cosmetics is there anything I should be shitting myself about here?
Incidentally if anyone has a knakered chain, it should last about 2k miles after your mechanic tells you... 8rfl@
