| Chain broken on ST4s
Hi all! Just joined. Need HELP pls. Bought my Duke 2 months ago, full Daytona sh. had just been 12k serviced. Now done 15000.
Went to Germany last week, 2k miles, 1k of the best twisty and smooth roads I've seen.
Anyway, to the point. On the way back, 20 miles from Calais, my drive chain broke, ( across a figure 8 link! ) at 95 ish. It punched a hole ( 10mm ) in the gearbox for good measure. Smashed the hugger and sprocket cover etc.
Is this a common fault?
Can anyone supply a Workshop manual, or Haynes?
Do you think the 'box will be f***ed?
Before everyone posts back--- YES I WAXED the chain, frequently, 4 times this holiday.
What's the recomended life for chain/sprockets? They looked good.
Please HELP. |
