cam chain too tight? It can jam on the bottom cog if it's allowed to get too slack and drop down the shaft.

Yesterday busy day fitting new rear tyre to the Storm after stone shard fataly damaged the old tyre. Then tyre folk pointed out cracked tyres on Transalp fitted just under two years / 7,000 miles ago which they recommend replacing ASAP - so an email sent to to Avon.

Image

In the afternoon fitted new shiney delkevic silencer to Transalp to replace the crusty sieve of an old un.

Later in the evening mixed some chemicals up for a special project for old Brit bikes to help offset the cost for the above!
