But the end piece broke, didn't it? You cannot depend on the axle being
torqued to specs to hold the rear wheel straight.

I ruined the chain adjuster on my first motorcycle by tightening the adjuster
bolt too much, and I thought that I could still ride the bike if I tightened
the axle enough.

I was wrong, the chain pulling on the sprocket shifted the wheel, the chain
jammed up and broke a tooth off the sprocket and the chain adjuster broke in
half too.

As to the front sprocket, you wanted to keep an eye on the nut that holds it
on.
The sheetmetal lock washer is made out of a soft steel so it can be bent.

Anything soft enough to be bent will fret against the nut and sprocket until
it wears the center teeth out and it also will get thinner as it frets.

27: WASHER, LOCK



I hear your pain, Pete. I feel miserable when I break my own bikes, so I know
how it feels.

Yes the end piece was broken.The first snap i heard came from the rear tire
area first, then up front. What i thought originally happend was when i went
into 2nd that piece broke causing the axel to slide forward losing the chain
and the the chain slammed into the front housing. Thats what i thought
anyway.
