WTF happened

[88' blaster]

alright i was riding the blaster today in these trails by my house and all was fine for a while. after 2 times around this trail my blaster was starting to slow down when i was off the throttle. i stopped it and looked to see what was wrong. i looked at my chain and kicked it to see how tight it was and it was rock solid!! i look at the back sprocket and saw this

i was like wtf!!!! i tried to put the chain on right and i burned my hand on the chain!! it was that hot from friction!! the chain is stuck when the o-rings would go not in the middle where it is meant to go. so what do i do other than get a new chain and sprockets?:-/

probably worn front sproket and it hopped

I have never seen a chain ride completely up on top of the teeth like that...

How tight was the chain before it started acting up? If it was kind of loose and slapped one good time to ride up on one tooth and then was the perfect tension to where it couldn't get back off.... Have you tried loosening the carrier tension and see if it will pop back on with relative ease?

Good thing it didn't jump off and crack a case.
BTW we need freak to make another batch of case savers.

that thing is rock solid on there. i may have to cut it off. it will still go with the chain like that because i had to ride it home like that but it tore the hell out of my sprockets. it was not that tight when i started but it was pretty tight

 

[88' blaster]

its stuck on the inside of the outer part of the link. if that makes sense

That's a new one...

 

[88' blaster]

its almost like my back sprocket is bent

 

[88' blaster]

That's a new one...

come up and see it tomorrow

 

[Zwiser]

drop the clutch hard and hope it pops back in

You have luck like I do! is that rear sprocket aluminum? I see one do that but it took a tooth with it!

 

[acezeesawtooth]

well i dont see a skid plate on that swinger so you may have hit a rock, stump, small child, whatever and bent that sprocket

haha small child, i did that once lol

 

[brandoz28]

did you loosen the adjusters and see if the chain will slide off?

 

[slickerthanyou]

I would throw a rear sprocket on, check to see if the chain is free moving and not kinking anywhere, if it's good you can reuse it. Do you use chain lube homie?

after every ride. and i did notice that my whole sprocket was lose. like i just kick the chain when im on the trail just to check it quickly and my back sprocket moved when i did it. like not just the sprocket but the whole thing on the axle. so i wondering if my spines are good
