Post some pics of your chain and sprockets, if they are getting worn then it may be time to replace them. it is best to replace chain and sprockets together, so they wear in together.

told ya so
the link didn't beak, it came of the rear sprocket cleanly.
The sprockets and chain are less than 5 hours old.
It didn't damage the case, due to the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder being in between the sprocket and the case.
After removing the stuck chain, the front sprocket is history, I'm not sure about the chain, but the gearbox seems to move freely when moved by hand. there's no disturbing noises. even when the kick starter is used to turn over the gearbox in every gear
I'll drop the oil and check for broken teeth tomorrow.
I thought about drinking my 2man tui after today. but i didn't
I have one pic, taken off the helmet cam footage.
we may just go where no ones been

put the vid up of you before it did it

sounds like youve probably gotten away with it.
have you figured out how you derailed your chain? was the wheel straight- eg chain adjusters set evenly
Forum whore
Where's your rear chain guide?? The one that mounts to the swingarm before the sprocket?
BogOff-Cant you see I'm busy?
The 5 hour old sprokets may be a clue!
;-D
Likely your chain was too loose and check your rear wheel was installed straight, don't rely on the adjusters, they are often not accurate. Your better of to install your chain and sight how the links are lining up on the rear sprocket as you rotate the wheel backwards, if the links are rubbing on one side or the other you need to adjust the wheel until the chain runs onto the sprocket evenly.
If you bought a cheap chain and sprockets it could stretch enough in one ride to be too loose. Also if the rear guide is worn or you went smaller on the rear sprocket these could be factors as well.
Could have been worse if you had been running one of those so called case protectors, they tend to jam up chains real well and cause more breakages than they prevent in my opinion.
Actually on looking at your pic I can't see a rear chain guide at all?
Twice the displacement, twice the cost and a decibel problem, I'll pass on the inside brraaaap!!!

*Cough*somones bike is in need of some tlc me thinks
We have both done a lot of riding in the last 12 months / almost every weekend
This is the Gasgas's second dnf / the first was when it fowled a plug and we didnt have a spare.
The chain didnt break , it just fell off, which indicates to me it was not correctly tensioned.
I could have been misaligned / but I doubt it.
