How old was the chain? Was it the original, as i see you saying "Borrow the chain tool again."

Can you see which link broke Harv? Was it the connector link or one of the factory links?

Should be I will confirm later
But check your pushbike chain before you leave :o

Andy last time Harv borrowed the chain tool I think it was either for his DR350 or the 748 he had before the SP.

It wasn't the original I don't think as it was gold. I think it was either EK or Regina...not sure...but not DID if thats wht everyone is thinking!

Perhaps I should clarify, the reference to borrowing the riveting tool again was regarding the last time I borrowed it to put a chain on my old 748...not this bike.

I will be going bak to the road to try and find the chain this afternoon. By the time I drove back yesterday it was gone, although several people did stop and tell me it was lying in the road only minutes before, so I assume it was flicked into the verge by a car not long after it came off.

Ok, the accused is dismissed....................:lol:

:lol:...cheeky git!

If your not going to Benson then its no problem for me to pop over to yours sometime suitable.

Was it a 520 or a 525 ????

standard 525 I think...hope so as I have just ordered another!

I hope you ordered sprockets too :)

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:barfy:

Glad you're OK Harv:)
