Well I was riding and all of a sudden my engine is revving but I'm not going anywhere. I killed the engine and tried turning it back on and it wont start. My clutch arm works and nothing wrong with the cable. So I opened the sprocket assembly and saw that the little dowel pin that holds the sprocket to the clutch axial has been crushed and split into two. Now I don't what to do or where to find this little dowel pin. So if anyone wants to help me out I'll be more thankful.

Is there a half moon key key susposed to be in the shaft and gear?
Yes...it sounds like the key has sheared, or was missing from new...yes it happens!!!

Remove the sprocket nut and the sprocket...there should be a woodruff, (half moon), key in the shaft. If not, you will need either a 1/8" or 3/32" key. Be prepared to file it to fit.

Hardware stores usually stock these.
