Chain Snapped twice need help

womblesa · 06-13-2005

Hey guys

I have a PR-50 and my chain snapped the other day, annoyihng yes I know because I had to wait a whole week then put my new one on and it snapped again, really annoying because now I have to wait again, but can anyone tell me why this is happebneing when I took my fairing off the metal bit that covers the chain on the motor, has got a big crack in it, could this be the reason and the 2 black things that the chain goes on look a bit worn for some reason, can anyone tell me if this is the reason or if there is another reason why this could be happening, thanks

make sure the tension of the chain is correct then make certain you align the rear tire correctly. Worn chain rollers will not cause the chain to snap it's usually from incorrect tension, poorly lubed, or mis aligned rear sprocket.
