NC30 rear disc removing question.

Post by **V4beermonster** » Wed Jan 09, 2013 6:49 pm

I had the chain snap on my Tl1000R at around 80 mph, locked up the back wheel how I never come off is only a miracle! It fooked the rear wheel, smashed the engine casings,slave cylinder,clutch push rod, also smashed all the virtabrae off the back of my left SIDI boot. My leathers saved my leg although from my heel to my ass cheek was black and blue for weeks. It was caused by the previous owner removing 2 links instead of buying a new chain just before I bought the bike ( the chain looked fine) moral is PLEASE PLEASE spend your money on putting the bike to a road worthy safe condition, then start to(enhance) the bike. Or sell it and buy something road worthy

I had the rivet link break once due to me putting off sorting out the freeplay. Sliced the chainguard into three bits with a frighteningly clean edge, and smashed a hole in my carbon can. Fortunately there was no other damage. A friend of mine had one let go on his FZR600, and it smashed one of the cases and the water pump. I'm pretty sure he said it had a go at the pillion peg for good measure.

Never scrimp on, nor neglect chains. One day you'll regret it, and if you're very unlucky you may keep regretting it for the rest of your life!

I still have problems with my left ankle occasionally from an Iris chain that let go on me 7 years ago. Doing umpty twiddly miles per hour down the A5 on a six week old O ring chain and sprockets. Chain decides to snap, wrapping itself around the swingarm and my boot. It cut through my Alpinestars boot and through my skin down to the bone. I still have a weak ankle and a slight depression around the circumference of my ankle.

That ended my silly tight arse reign, since then I only use DID or AFAM.

@ NEo, BTW, cross front tyre off the list, he should have received it by now

Well glad to hear you didnt take a shock spring in the chest by trying to remove it yourself on the cheap. On the subject of C&S if you compare a used sprocket to a brand new one you will see how much wear actually happens, i was servicing my brothers 600F last week and he thought the sprockets where fine too and he wouldnt beleve me until i put the new and old sprocket next to each other and showed him how much wear there was!

Your chain has clearly been neglected and while you might be able to clean the rust from the outside of the plates, the real damage is being done inside the rollers and around the pins and that WILL cause it to snap eventually. I dont see why your skimping on C&S its got to be one of the cheapest service items per replacement intervals, for instance on my 800 i have done just over 8000 miles and only had to adjust the chain once, and its because i look after it properly.

Spending 130 odd quid on a decent set thats lasts 20-30k is cheap as chips really mate! Also i think its time to make Xilvia's thread of problems and questions Part 2 now as i think we are on the 5th different subject in this thread now??

what can i do to remove this? heat it?

top one, i even cut my allen key so its just straight, plugged it in 8mm socket and to the socket wrench, and still will not move... i also prayed lots of shock & unlock.. no help.

FUCKING LOL.

Oh my word I've never seen a chain like that, I've seen WW2 tanks still in nicer condition!

Christ. Please everyone, chip in a tenner and let's get this bike raffled of to a member as project of the year 2013.
