Re: Chain came off
My bike has done over 21100 miles and the sprocket and chain have been jumping, so last week I bit the bullet and got the garage to source and fit a new sprocket and chain set. Parts £102 plus 2 hours labour
plus VAT of course. The labour included working on a jammed gearbox and binding front brake.

Re: Chain came off
wow you got bigger ones than me! Id be poopin if I had a chain jumping plus it doesnt do the rest of the drive train much good as it increases wear on the cush drive and gearbox bearings. To keep costs down I spent a little on a chain breaker/rivetter and change my own chains very easily....

Re: Chain came off
I had a side plate break on my Z400. Luckily in town and at low speed so all that happened was lots of clanking and a very jerky feel. Looking at the broken side plate it seems like a crack had been developing for a while before letting go, then when it broke the other side bent leaving the two pins splayed out. Lucky I only had to go a couple of miles to a friendly dealer who fitted a spring link for me as a temporary measure.

Re: Chain came off
Probably the shock of the loose chain on the sprockets finished it off when its skipped.
