Another snapped chain!!

Yet again just as everything was going fine this happens:

Firstly the seat release cable snapped underneath the seat, so i have to strip the underside down, bugger!

I decide not to let it bother me and ill go out for a blast, to cheer myself up!

I get to about 80, after slowing down, just about to get to the roundabout, and i loose all power and hear a grinding noise!

On looking down, the chain is rubbing my swingarm up!! Double Bugger! (This is the third one) On a 600 Monster??

On closer inspection the chain link had snapped on one side, throwing it off the sprocket (Taking a couple of teeth with it).

The damage 2 knackered and one powdercoated swingarm complete with scratches and grooves!!

I have 2 spare swingarms but i a looking for a 900 alloy jobbie if anyone has one!

Cheers

Yorkie

Not too P***ed off!! All my chains are well lubed and adjusted well??
