Went for a blast this afternoon and got 4 miles and the chain snaped :(

The problem is it wrapped it self around the front sprocket and broke the crank case :cry: :cry: :cry:

Looks very much like a new motor is the only fix :shock: :cry:


A big thanks to Mark the manager at Italian motor cycles of crediton who opened up on sunday afternoon 8)

Looks very much like the monster is going to get a good thrashing now. :lol:

You must be gutted mate, I know I would be. :(
Cant you get a replacement crankcase ? If not then a 2nd hand motor ?

Take the monster motor and put it in the 996. You'll have the slowest 996 in the country :lol:
