Bring me a beer if your passing............

........I'm on the side of the M20 with a snapped chain and remodelled Oberon slave.

DOH! bad new mate!

Is it the original chain or fitted since?

Hope your not stuck too long (and it isnt raining like it is here )

Home and on my second Asahi courtesy of SOS Recovery, yet again.

OE chain replaced at 15k miles so assumed that this one would last a bit longer than 28k miles.

Damage inspection tomorrow morning - DID ZVM next time.

so, for the less mathematical on here - it snapped after 13,000 miles, right?

that's pretty poor...

http://contour.com/stories/ktm-loses-its-chain--3 - almost as exciting as Maxime Berger losing his rear wheel at WSBK Donington on Sunday.....................

Getting home in an hour from posting is not too shabby at least, how far up the M20 were you.

Half way between the two Brands Hatch junctions - 30 mins only wait for SOS Recovery.

Damage appears to be limited to snapped and bent Oberon clutch slave bolts, the metal 'chain fail' protection bracket (did it's job) and associated plastic clutch pushrod/pin restraint bracket, broken number plate, small chunk of crankcase next to the clutch oil jet and minor gouges to rear wheel hub (hopefully not enough to do a Maxime Berger once back on the road)- lucky, I guess.

All parts with me by Friday courtesy of Redline/Oberon.

Plus new clutch pushrod and Oberon slave now required - took me a while to work out how to remove a bent clutch pushrod...................Sigma slipper showing surprisingly, at least for me, little wear after 28k miles.

Been back on the road for a while now with new Oberon clutch slave and mounting plate - had to fit silver anodised option as black anodised not in stock at the time - if anyone interested, will sell silver anodised parts at circa £100 (£127.50 rrp) inc UK p & p.
