I bought some billet (10mm) alloy rear engine mountings off eBay for a bargain price of a tenner, including postage. They came with modded spacers too

After fitting em I went out for a 40 mile ride (Yesterday - Sat - as it was warm & sunny). Great, no probs! Later on whilst in the garage I was giving the bike a 'once over' when I noticed the split link was missing from me chain

OK, I know its a 630 (booo, hissss) and you're not really supposed to use split links, but I've never had one dissapear before

On further examination, I found the problem

As I've got a 180 rear wheel & off-set front sprocket, the drive chain is out towards the mounting plate, and what with it being thicker than a standard item, the chain was just catching the plate when the suspension compressed over big bumps



Heres the view from the rear wheel toward the engine. If you look carefully you can see where the chain has just been catching the engine mount


No real problem as the mounting plates alloy,
