:NOTE:.This was on my DL1000 with a sidecar..
So this is what happens to a chain guard when it gets sucked into the chain at 70 MPH !!!!.I'm not sure why this happened,but after looking at it I think it might have been rubbing on the CT and finally gave way.When it happened it locked up the rear wheel and at 70 mph it only took at split second to turn me towards the guard rail.I pulled in the clutch and stopped about 1 foot from the rail.I thought that the engine seized OR I lost a chain,but when I gathered up my nerves and got down to look at it I found it UNDER the chain on the rear sprocket.It took me about 1/2 hour to take off the rear wheel and cut the guard out of the chain and off I went.Anyone have this happen before??.
