Chain comes off! So I sent it to Ivors ...

[newquestions]

Well, yesterday I rode a motorcycle for the first time ever ...

I bought a 125 Honda Rebel a few weeks ago, and did the
insurance/tax thing. Got a new battery. Finally got it to work
(like it did when I bought it).

Mate tells me how to ride it. Off I go, in low gears. Loving
every second, and just as I come around the corner to get
home, my chain comes off the back sprocket. Nearly shat
myself. Bikes slows. Can't find neutral. At that point I had
no idea the chain was off the backend! lol

Anyway, I called Ivor's in Galway and they agreed to pickup
my bike for just 10 Euros. They are doing a chain and sprocket
replacement.

I just wanted to say thanks publically, because Ivor's have been
more than helpful so far. I will continue this thread over the next
few days. It might help, if another Galway rider is deciding whether
or not to use Ivor's for repairs. So far, service has been great ...

for future reference; always check how loose your chain is.
a very loose chain can fall off the sprockets.
its an easy thing to tighten

when you're collecting the bike, ask the mechanic how.
it'll take 10 seconds to show you
