<Rrrrring> Hello? I'd like a 19 tooth rear sprocket for my Duc.

I'm calling the child abuse hotline!

[Jobu]

Can you fix it?

[uclabiker06]

How and why does that happen?

[ducpainter]

I see no problem.

Our friend friction (coupled with neglect).

So a chain did that to the sprocket?  Find that hard to believe.

I'm sure it was more than 1 chain.

Nick, did he ride it in & you found it or was it acting up   If he were riding it around without a clue he should buy a lottery ticket because he's one lucky guy

what, do you think money grows on trees?  there's still another 500 miles left on that!

New rider, and relatively new bike to him.
He had no idea.

Bike has 27k miles on it, so no telling how many miles on this sprocket.
It's aluminum, so with poor care, one chain would be plenty to do that.
Chain is shagged too.

Rear tire is nearly new, so someone had the wheel out recently.

I've got a 9 tooth front that'd give him close to stock gearing to match!



big (he can have that zero tooth front sprocket on the right too if he wants!)

Wow, even a new rider should think there's something wrong and have it checked out when the big starts reving up when the chain slips on the missing teeth. Either that or someone had that chain tightened up pretty good to to keep it from slipping.

I knew a guy that had an older Suzi and didn't know shit about chains. I kept telling him that his chain was too slack since I could hear it dragging on the swing arm. He refused to think anything was wrong. When I finally got him to look at it we found 4 broken teeth on the rear sprocket and 2 on the front. Chain had 6 tight spots and more than 10 broken links. I was amazed it hadn't seized up on him or broken.

I just don't get how they can get that busted up w/o causing something really bad to happen first.

There are people who don't like to spend to much time/money maintaining their motorcycles so they don't get Ducatis and the like.  Thats one thing, but to take carelessness to this level is just, well, funny is the only word I can conjure up.

I was on here earlier when my gf came over.  She knows nothing about motorcycles. First thing she said when she saw the picture was "that doesn't look right"

Your right, it was the result of hungry rodents.
