:o man am i lucky my chain broke and luckily i wasn't on the freeway and no other cars were around. after taking in all the damage i need a new swingarm (b/c the chain bent it), new sprokets, and of course a new chain. I have a new swingarm already but need some recommendations for the sprockets and chain. Please help!! I need to get back on the road!

better double check behind the sproket cover and make sure nothing else it bent or broken. my chain jumped and i had the cases get cracked, the clutch push rod broken and shifter shaft bent.
Accelerate like your being chased, Corner like you mean it, Brake as if you life depends on it.
Ride Hard...or go home.

Its you Vs the pavement.....who wins today?
