Well i've been riding my x18 for a little bit now, just getting a feel for it. I got it for $120 and ive put another $400 or so into it already... 
So far all ive done to it is put on a 22mm mikuni, and a new exhaust. And it seems SO much faster than stock! I also put on a new Kenda 130/90-10 rear tire and it is so nice. It looks silly with such a big rear tire, but it rides nice!
Everything has been going great until about half an hour ago.... I have riden it a few hours today just cruising around my neighborhood and just as i was nearing my house, the chain popped off. Or so i thought! Once i got it back into my garage i realize that what had actually happened is a few of the rear sprocket bolts had backed out, and then the last few got pulled out!
Here is what it looks like...
What I am wondering is what i should do about this? Just use 4 bolts? Move the sprocket a few degrees and redrill all 6 holes in between the existing ones? Get a new rim?
Thanks for any and all help!
