The Quadfather Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 (edited) :woot: Ok,so i am riding today down my dirt road today goin about mach 10 around a corner and the top bolt that holds the bearing carrier into the swingarm backed out on me (again) causing the carrier to rotate forward on the left side about a half inch, throwing the chain off and wraping it around the outside of my front sprocket. I guess the nut somehow vibrated loose(again).I had to walk two and a half fucking miles back to my house through a small creek, with wet feet down the dirt road back to my house, b/c i recently switched from alltrel to at&t and i git hardly no service around my house . i replaced all the bolt,nuts,and washers,and properly torqed em down last week............i think im just goin to put a lock washer and locknut with some locktight on that bitch.........................any suggestions or hypothesis ?

PM me with details i would suggest getting a swingarm with the round house "honda" style carrier. they do cost a bit more but you will not have any more issues when tightening your chain. just my opinion.
