Chain gave up on me

[ukdiceman]

Hi All,

Anyone spot a problem here...... apart from the obvious bent frame!

Does anyone have any ideas on a repair for this, it only happened last night and after it was recovered I went to the pub! I've not taken the sprocket cover off yet and I'm not back home now until the weekend, so no idea of the real damage. Just thought I'd see what you guys recon.

Chain looks a bit slack. You've already spotted the twisted subframe.

[RhynoCZ]

Well, that looks nice

What's next, a new crankcase?

It's a shame it killed the crankcase and not the sprocket cover.

Looks like it's doubled up on the front sprocket.
Take the cover off and see if you can loosen the chain.
If the is no damage apart from the cover you might just get away with it.

I'd risk that... remove the chain and its cover, check for holes and leaks.

[Atomic Punk]

Ooops, thats the crank case not the cover, you may still be alright.

Yeah, I'm hoping there's no leaks and I might be able to get it back on the road...... I knew I'd get words of encouragement from Paddy

if it's just the fringe of the cover thats broke you might just get away with it, barely, give everything in there a proper clean and check for any other cracks or leaks

Threads like this make me want to put a rivet link on my GSXR...

That was caused by a stiff link... the big rear sprocket straightens it out, the small front sprocket leaves it kinked so it smashes into the sprocket cover / engine case.

The good news is that if you're not leaking oil, a bit of JB Weld and new chain and sprockets will make an effective if rather ugly repair

[ukdiceman]

Well I've taken the sprocket cover off and....

The damage at the top of the casing is much worse than I expected, with the cover mount broken off. Will take alot more bodging than I anticipated! It might be a "spares or repair project" on ebay!

It looks like the split link has failed as I found the c clip in the bottom of the housing.

Take the chain and sprocket off. If it's not pissing oil out then bodge it up.

Was going to suggest getting it welded but saw it was an XJ600....so gaffer tape it over. If you want to go posh, warm the metal up, tap it back carefully and add a bit of chemical metal

[Alpha-9]

Pfff it's fine, front sprocket covers are overrated anyway, just ride without
