    chain going bad

    Friday, I rode my 450 to work, and something just didn't feel right. I was getting this strange thump coming up through the bike somewhere. When I got home that night, I went and pulled the front sprocket cover off, and slowly turned the rear wheel. It seems that one of the links in the chain was sticking a little bit, and I could actually see part of the link pop out a bit. I'm just glad I made it home ok. So now I'm grounded until I get the new chain.

    I already had a new chain ordered from Bike Bandit, but unfortunately it is back ordered, although they tell me it should ship tomorrow. I already have the new sprockets and a chain rivet tool from the same order, but the windshield I ordered showed on the order page to be shipped with the rest of my order, but I only received the sprockets and the chain tool. Apparently the windshield shipped separately (of course BB didn't bother to tell me about it or give me a tracking number for it). Grrrrr...
Working...
