Not what you want to see...

After you make your sighting warmup laps at Cycle Ranch MX park in Floresville TX... 13T out of 49, lesson for the kids here - keep your chains tight. This was 3 hours of riding on "eh it's tight enough"

Thankfully their pro shop on hand - Moto-Shack had the hookup and I got to replace it today after using my "practice" bike yesterday.

More like a reason not to use aluminum sprockets

I checked the front and all the links when I cleaned off the dirt.

I guess my style of riding MX just destroys the rear sprocket when the chain's too loose. If it was the Aprilia, I wouldn't chance it because we're talking about 4x the horsepower AND torque. That could potentially cause it to lock up or have the chain snap and slap my leg.

I totally missed the "MX" part of your post and thought it was off the RSV instead of the YZ and was like

Now it makes more sense

Nobody pays attention to subforums. We all just click the "new posts" button at the top.
