the exact same thing happened to me when I was ice racing this year. My chain broke on a link and got wraped up in the front sproket. I would garuntee you that your stator is shot also mine was. there is a small black plastic thing with two wires connected to it that is directly behind the side cover right where your chain punched a hole into. a new side cover is about $66, and a new stator is about $130 from service honda.

you cant see from these pics but the shift arm is bent and there is a silver dollar hole in the center case also... Ill get another pic tonight

[Scro]

WOW, I think that's the worst I've seen. Did you even have a case saver on?

[scrapen]

Ya the case caver was mangled into a little ball metal it didnt do any help at all

[Jonas]

It could be tough to get the dealer to fix. Looks like you took off the outer chain guard?? Are you saying your shift lever is bent or your shift shaft?

[scrapen]

the shift shaft is what i ment. And i did have the case saver in place it sheerd one of the bolts strait off and broke the other 2 off dowles and all.

[400exrider707]

Shift shafts are not that hard to replace on the 450rs, and I seriously seriously doubt your dealer is going to do a thing about it.:ermm:

I called Honda just now and told them the situation the bike is 10 months old it was the stock chain and it has been serviced by a certified Honda mechanic. They said that it should be covered under the warrenty I just have to bring it in.

[Abrannan19]

please keep us posted on that I am very curious to see what they will do..

[scrapen]

ok i will keep you posted on what I find out.

[Iliketogofast]

Jesus Christ.

ill pray for you before I lay my head to rest tonight

I am just curious if it is worn bad. Our yfz broke a chain recently and cracked a case. Someone told me that a chain will wear faster if one or both of the sprockets are worn. It didn't happen to be the case for ours and your front looks good but I can't see the rear very well in the pic.

Not a big deal either way but I am just interested. It might be worth looking at before you take it to the dealer....

[440bigborekit]

wow man that sucks but im preaty sure there not gonna cover it becuase the aftermarket stuff on the bike like piston and headwork there going to come up with some type of an excuse not to fix it.......i may be wrong but i highly doubt it good luck anyways.....

[313racing]

i also bent the shift spindle on mine but mine isnt under warranty long story but my engine is all torn apart so i can replace the left crank case

[JW450R1]

i u have the stocker case save on ot aftermarket?.

[Hammer trx450r]

The condition of the chain is BAD!!! You guys need to take the chain off every now and then and clean it real good.

[scrapen]

actually the chain was in fairly good shape. B4 ever ride i check the slack and I make sure it is waxed as shuch.

[Abrannan19]

i agree the chain looks fine to me..im no expert but i do know that it takes like two mins for a chan to look like crap after it has just been cleaned/waxed if you are riding in dusty /dirty conditions.

[scrapen]

Here is a look at the bottom of the case.
