[QUOTE="jboomer, post: 814247, member: 27524"] Actually, it was adjusted the night prior (I had the wheel off changing out the rear sprocket). I've always adjusted according to the manual....bike on the stand 1 1/4" of play at it's tightest point. Like I mentioned in the original post, it was really muddy that day. Not to mention the track had added a bunch of sawdust to try and absorb some of the water and to "loam out the track" a little. That stuff is like particle board once you add copious amounts of wet mud. It was packing under the plastic case guard really bad and I had stopped and cleaned it out once half way through the day. The conditions were just right for breaking a chain. It's a bad idea to run these chains on the loose side on the CRF's. They chatter really bad and eat up your swingarm and the aluminum down spar just behind the cc sprocket. Of course you can't run them tight either, the only answer is to frequently check the adjustment and correct it if it's wrong. Also, they come stock with a case saver, if you remove the plastic cc sprocket cover, it's located underneath it. But, one thing I've learned from this....I'll always have a short pair of bolts in my toolbox so when it's really muddy at the track, that plastic cover is coming off so the mud doesn't pack.
