Sounds like a chain issue. Our clutches aren't strong enough to handle a tranny seizure and they would surely slip. Glad to see you didn't kill yourself.

Yes I agree with donuts. I have had my chain and come off the primary sprocket and wedge inside of the cover.When that happens the tyre Locks up tight.

ok, you were right, 4 links were twisted into the sprocket cover, had to grind them out, and i got a new chain from tractor supply, and waiting for a cdi off of ebay.

I had that happen a couple of times before I got that rear set up right. Sorry to hear it was that bad.

Man That Hurts, I Hope You Did Not Crush Any Of The Nuts On The Gas Tank Or Fork Stem. THAT MAKES A PULL START AND A FREEWHEEL SOUND LIKE A GOOD INVESTMENT!! OR THE SHIFT KIT, THAT WOULD FREE WHEEL ALSO. Ron
