Busted my dirt bike

[mopar70]

Sunday I had a slight problem with my 06 YZ450F. I sheared off the bolts from my rear sprocket. That lead to the wadding of my chain in the front sprocket. That lead to a broken case$$$$

interesting "chain" of events. -what a mess.

Lack of maintenance...
Bolt holes in hub are ovaled. The bolts loosened, rattled, for quite a while. The lack of lube on the chain, tells that it wasn't ever looked at.

Chain was lubed and the sprocket was tight. holes are not ovaled, you are just seeing the marks from the sprocket hitting the hub. Hub is still not ovaled.

OUCH. sorry to hear that.

Sorry to see this. I remember you posting about getting back into it MX and doing pretty good at it. Bummer man.

I have the motor out of the bike and the motor is being tore down now. I have a friend that is going to TIG it back together. I new set of cases is 600.00 Plus all the bearings. It's good to have friends LOL
