Sprocket

[Livingmylife93]

Spent all 3 days riding of my 3 day weekend 

On Sunday I noticed that everytime i got on the gas real hard i would hear a grinding and not be able to do a wheelie or anything. So my chain was pretty loose and i tightened that up and still the same problem. Came to find out the front sprocket was missing 8 out of 14 teeth 

Being that it was sunday no dealers where open (let alone had the parts). So i rode a buddies trailboss for the day. On the night side we went over to his house and did work lol. Its a steel sprocket so we just welded a bead on top of each tooth then grinded them down to the right size and repeated for a few again.

Came out great, lasted a day full of riding with no problems what so ever.


Long story short:

Sprocket broke
Fixed by welding new teeth on 


Also snapped my stock grab bar in 4 places over the weekend  chewing up my exhaust from dangling around before i had the chance to take it off completely. Cant afford new, will probably get it pieced back together.

I didnt wheelie back to far or anything, i just picked it up off some chocks and first the left side snapped, then the left fender mount. Then the other side in the same order. It was to the point where i could bend it up and down though so i kinda knew this was coming...


Pointless post?

lol thanks dude. Me and my friends were really proud of how well the sprocket came out.

As for the grab bar, i picked up some 1/4 inch steel today and will be making my own

don't make the grab too strong, something much more expensive will be the next weak link, cuz the next post will be how do you weld a cast aluminum sub frame.
