Well, more pain this morning. The chain 'link lock' got cut on my way to office this morning. Fortunately, this happened close to Adugodi CBZ. Got it repaired since he didn't have new lock.
Just wondering, how can this happen with a new chain set
This has done around 315kms so far thats all.

Either the chain was too tight on the sprockets or
The chain was too Loose (Which you would've easily gauged).
Anyways, good to know that both are safe...!

Yup, I could hear some chain noise yesterday, like how it sounds when loose. Didn't bother too much. On my 100, I've ridden with a loose chain for quire sometime.
Didn't expect it to come-off like that the very next day
Yup, I was lucky, since I was riding in peak hour traffic, also since it is in running in I was riding in the leftmost lane so as to not to block traffic behind me.

Please not that this happens MOSTLY when the chain lock has been fixed in the wrong way ....
What this means is that the open end of the lock should be AWAY from the direction of motion of the chain ..
There are many ramifications of a loose chain:
- The chain cover is damaged by the chain grazing it
- A bad chain with ruin the sprockets and vice-versa
- A broken chain can lock the wheel at high speed and cause accidents
- It can damage the Layshaft milling or the bearings (happened with my YBX)
- Will damage the rear wheel bearings due to inconsistent loading
Please change the chain - sprocket kit at the earliest.02 Qualis GS

Would you still advise me to replace chain sprocket? That would be another Rs.650 :-(A lone amateur built the ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic...Comment

Sorry if I did not word that correctly ... I was thinking of a worn out chain / sprocket .Originally posted by NitinGirish View Post Chain sprocket is brand new.

what u did is right ... getting a loose chain tightened on time is the best way to maintain chain sprocket safety ..

Hope you got a matching primary for that.Originally posted by NitinGirish View Post
The most common mistake while installing a chain is putting the lock the wrong way. The closed end should be installed in the direction on the chain movement. 99% its the cause of a chain break.Originally posted by NitinGirish View PostWell, more pain this morning.

Now it gets me thinking. I probably should check how it was installed for the second time too. Thank You for that info Nitesh & AlokOriginally posted by yamdoot View PostHope you got a matching primary for that.
Yup. The dealer says he has a list of production batch codes with which he can match the bell with primary. Is there any visual way of validating this?
Hoping this installation is hassle free.
