Yup i know thanks dude.
The stock chain links are too loose causing the chain to run out of the rear sprocket when the bike lean. When the chain runs out of the sprocket teeth, it becomes jam and pull the front sprocket in which also pull the weak shaft and bent .
Wat i have done is i press each individual link closer. Some of the links press a bit too tite.
But the overall effect is great . Now no matter which direction the bike lean, the chain will not runs out of the sprocket teeth. At least tite chain is better than too loose chain that fall off the sprocket teeth.
So i that's why i hope for a better quality chain. Wink

 a world of differance  wd40 is  like tar balls and sand when compaired to birchwood casey sheath gun oil it  cleans and seals metal the stuff works wonders on metal ...i had a pair of plyers that rusted  on the inside of rivet and no longer could open no matter how hard i tried to open gave it a few drops of sheath oil and its fixed no bs  it  goes in the pores of the metal.. i dont let tools get rusty but this set of plyers  had solder flux on and i wash under hot water no rust on the out side it was on the inside of joint

My driver broke the handle bar.
My king, are spares in sight?

[Edit] By the way, my stock motor started to make noises and did always stop on full throttle, so I replaced it with a 36-60-08L (or something like that, I think the exact name was mentioned earlier already) that was laying around. This is really a perfect replacement. [/Edit]
