Today i went for an afternoon ride 5 days after it rained 40ml so the track was grippy as anything, i also had 2 brand new tyres so it was like i was glued to the track when about 45 minutes through my ride i hit a small 1st gear jump and when i landed then engine stopped and the back wheel started to skip and chatter so i pulled up to inspect what had happened (broken chain i suspected).
But when i looked down the sprocket was all twisted, and on the left hand side the hub had been smashed. :bang:
For photos go to photobucket and search "patto3"
Previously my sprocket had come lose about 4 times and because of the looseness the sprocket bolts had been slamming into the sprocket when i revved it.TIGHTEN YOUR SPROCKET BOLTS REGULARLY!
Because of this I now need a new sprocket and hub, fortunately i don't need a new swing arm and I wasn't injured but if I was racing I could have been, seriously. :whoa:
I was also wondering what type of wheels i can put on my bike, it is a 2003 CR 125 and i thought a wheel from 02-06 might fit.
