Happened to me once on my old firebloater, accelerating hard past 90 the cain wrapped around the swing arm scratching evrything in the proccess then punched a hole in my crank case luckily not jamming the front sprocket. Brand new DID fitted by a dealer, they didn't accept liability but carried out full repairs. Not a nice feeling
Glad you're OK Harv
