broken chain

[sickyellow400ex]

the chain on my 08 450r broke for no reason and it broke the case saver off, so i need a new case and chain, but the dealer said honda most likley wont cover it, what do you think or has anyone had that happen?

I don't foresee Honda covering that. They'll probably try to say that it was lack of maintenance or mis-adjustment. You're probably gonna have to suck it up and buy a new case yourself. It sucks, I had that happen on one of my other wheelers.

if you have the upper and lower bolt holes left... you can still bolt on a moose racing poly case saver... go that route....

Baldwin motorsports race bikes have no case saver .. just a poly sleeve over the shift shaft to protect it.

if your bolt holes are broken and you cant bolt a case saver on it and cant afford to fix it... just run it the way it is with the chain tightened periodicallly.

its not like its really gonna hurt the case any worse.....damage already done... just make sure you put on a rear lower chain guide.

I got lucky and noticed this rigt before a ride. It just happend to be on the rear f teh sprocket when i went to pull the quad out.

Maintenance! Learn it, Apply it! Keep an eye open for anything like that at all times.

Was going to say the same thing as posted here. If necessary, use JB weld to fix the case if you have to and then buy a Moose case saver. Put it over the shift shaft and hopefully you have at least one bolt to hold the upper portion.
