yamahanut98 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 me and a buddy were out ridin yesterday, and while goin up a hill about(20mph) his chain fell off. It wasnt loose to begin w/ the ride and he has full skids so no rock couldve bent the sprocket and made it fall off. Well when the chain fell off it bundles up and hit the tranny case ( the housing of the shifter output shaft to be exact) and shattered it, oil went everywhere. This bike has been ridden less than 10 hours and we called the dealer and they said no warranty work will be done to it because the chain fell off not broke. What do you think can be done? Argue with the dealer or just pay it this kind of stuff just happens? i have had the chain on the raptor come off goin 60 and it didnt do a thing except break a few teeth on the front sprocket what gives man?

wesw Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 thats sucks sorry for that, but i got a 20 dollar case saver. might invest in one in the future. might be able to find a case on ebay for your buddy Quote
bansheefreestyler Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 argure with the dealer. it was prolly a malfunction. argue it until they finally give up Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 that pretty much sucks. i dont think that you can argue it since the chain fell off. they can blame that on improper tightening. you can sure try tho. Quote
FORMULASPEED Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 wait a week or so, break the chain an call back up there an tell them what you said before only say the chain broke. Whats this I buy a 6000 $ machine from you guys, an your dam mechanic cant put a master link on right. Im callin my lawyer Quote
Wallrat Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 That's the result of not doing pre-emptive maintenance and tightening your chain. It can happen to any chain driven engine. The yfz comes with a case saver but its fairly thin and would only hold up to most breakages. Several companies sell very beefy versions of the same thing that will protect the cases during even the most severe breaks. Anyway man, sorry for the bad luck. Quote
yamahanut98 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Posted March 15, 2005 thats the thing we did check the chain it was tight Quote
racer Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 thats the thing we did check the chain it was tight 339789[/snapback] too tight? thats bad also. you might be able to get it out of your dealer, depending on how you go about things. blame it on the setup department. cause i know when i get blamed for shit at work, it always gets fixed.

Banshee~ Posted March 16, 2005 Report Posted March 16, 2005 Yea I would tell them that your going to contact your lawyer if they dont fix it or work out a deal. Quote

bansheeryder_69 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Mine did the same thing on a brand new chain. But I got lucky the dealer warranttied my chain and all that happened was it broke then came up and smacked my foot. Hurt like hell Quote
