I would think this would be a NO NO with his sponsors?

This may not be end well for Ken. Can’t imagine Honda will be ok with this.

That bike looks like the condition of a local C rider...not one of the top riders in the sport...

Bolts, then the slacked chain takes the guide with it..

And people saying that Honda won’t be ok with this, how much shit has Ken posted through the years, calling fans out and telling them to suck his cock and what ever? This is not the worst we have seen from him..

I’m guessing he is not planning on riding red next year.

I'm surprised they don't run an all plastic chain guide, and at least reinforce the chain guide mounts. That's Honda off-road prep 101.

Just check out the condition of the rim itself... Hard to imagine Roczen riding that.

Had a guide pop right off on my 18. Buying a new swing arm isn’t fun….

I would expect factory Honda to reinforce those two bubblegum tac welds us mere mortals have to live with.

Actually it's a huge deal, because when that happens rear wheels tend to lock up. I made a thread years ago calling out manufacturers for bird shit welding these things on without any second thought and people thought I was insane, yet here we are where another one almost took out a top rider. I've broken a few off and gotten extremely lucky not to get seriously hurt when the rear wheel locked up on a jump landing.

Go look at the welds on your swingarm that looks the homer simpson robot welded it on.

Even superstars fall victim to the loose sprocket bolt trap, apparently.

If anybody was thinking there was no way that was his bike, this should help a little:

Who’s his practice bike mechanic ? Looks like the sprocket bolts went first , would presume it’s a daily check on the sx bike
