thundercat1 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 i was rideing back home from work today and my chain snapped taking out indicator, chain guard, and numberplate with it. i pushed it home as it was about a mile and a half from my house, when i got back i replaced the chain and sprockets, i thaught it was all over started the bike put it in gear and nothing! it dont move there is a metalic noise coming from the gearbox (i think) its louder and more metalic when i take the oil cap out... can someone tell me what is wrong and if its hard and expensive to repair as its my only mode of transport cheers jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 could be a clutch problem which (hopefully) wouldnt be the end of the world, however, if the chain amanged to lock the output shaft of the gearbox you could have shredded a gear or sheared a shaft. start with the clutch, take off the engine case and inspect it for any damage, if that checks out then split the cases and give the gearbox a good going over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thundercat1 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 i just had a look at the clutch and it is slipping and the metalic noise seems to be the plates moving slightly, but i found that there is oil leaking fron the side the front sprocket is on... i think it is coming from the pin that engages/disengages the clutch.... im in over my head but seriously cant aford to get it fixed by a mechanic. and its my only mode of transport :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wager youre box is shagged, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
