Went to ride my blaster...

The master link popped out and the chain fell off. While this was happening it shredded the teeth off the countershaft sprocket. Good news is its only $30 to fix. Ordered a new sprocket and master link and i will take the messed up link out of the chain. the chain was real long anyways which more than likely caused all of this.

Keep your chain adjusted properly and keep it well lubed. I spray mine with chain lube before every ride.

i always keep it lubed, im prettuy sure it was because the chain was not adjusted right. ive never touched it and always though it may be a little loose and i guess it was.

You lucked out, could have ruined your case.

some kid rode mine and snapped my chain a while back.
it wrapped around the sproket and broke it too.

im pretty sure everything is ok with it, minus the chain master link and the sprocket. i guess once i get everything back on it i will find out.

You would know if you damaged your case.

the bike kept running after it fell off. i though at first i had popped it into neutral on accident only to realize every gear was like neutral. i looked back and...well theres the chain.....crap

That sucks but it sounds like an easy fix. Where do you ride Mike?
