dazza_b Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 My brother was riding his 125 the other day when his chain went (again, keep buying a new split link but won't pay for a decent new chain)anyway it came off and wrapped around the sprocket area and he fish tailed and came to a stop, i went and fitted the new split link for him and we started the bike to find the chain and sprocket spins but the wheel doesn't, as if it doesn't have any form of connection with each other, any ideas?sorry can't provide pics, it's parked up at his misses at the moment and he is too cheap to just pay for a van for collection and too lazy to just call the AA!

Weebl Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You are going to have to take the wheel and sprocket off to find what is broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattycoops43 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sounds like he shouldn't be riding. That's the kind of thing that'll kill ya in the wrong place! basic maintenance affects more than resale value!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin the Bear Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Lucky it wrapped round the wheel and locked it. If it had wrapped round his foot you'd be posting on a different forum. Crutch and a parrot , sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissb6 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Others have not been so lucky. Bikes have crashed, i've see engines smashed and also heard of rider being badly injured through broken chains wrapping round there leg. Don't fix it with another link get it sorted. He owt to count himself really lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
