Did you replace the front and rear sprockets? Ed

zukdave, Luckily i'm not racing mine. nor did it lock my tires.

650ed, the front is new, the rear is on its way.

I know its not the best idea to put a new chain on an old sprocket, but when you're in a tight spot and your only transportation at the time is the bike... you gotta do what you gotta do to get to work.

Brother (PO) had a new front sprocket. the rear had to order since it has a different rear end on it.

I blame myself for the chain snap tho. I should have replaced it when i pulled it out of storage. 4 years can rust up and stiffen a chain and my common sense knew that. Excitement over a new ride got the best of me. Won't let that happen again.

kzcurt no offense taken, I do know what to look for on a worn sprocket. Had to deal with those on dirtbikes and previous bikes.
