My Yamaha and I are in an abusive relationship.

Spent 3 hours prepping it for sale today. Took it for a ride to make sure everything is in working order.

And the fucking chain skips under full power. The rear sprocket is caput.

Which means I have to spend more $$$$ just to make the goddamn thing go away.

Why won't it let me go? I'm with my Honda now. We're doing really great. The Yamaha just can't move on.

sprockets are cheap, let the next guy worry about it and the stretched out chain.
