Hi all,
New here, first build. OCC chopper with a Grubee skyhawk gt5 and about an hour of riding before i broke
At the very least, I stripped the clutch shaft that the big nut threads on to secure the drive sprocket. In doing so, the engine spins freely and my chain doesn't respond when i rev the engine.
Why did this happen?? Now my drive sprocket is of course not in perfect alignment with the rear wheel sprocket (Apparently I can't eyeball a straight drill line), so could that have been the problem? Or is it just cheap china parts? My chain is tension is pretty tight as i need to clear the chopper bike's rear wheel frame.
Is this an relatively easy fix or should I go for a replacement engine? Should i figure some way to attach the chain idler in the future?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated... in the meantime, I will return to the garage and take apart the clutch assembly to investigate more.
