So I had an eventful night last night. We showed up late and ended up missing both practices. Never rode this track before either. Go out for moto 1 and end up 7th out of 12. I'm happy for just getting a feel of the track. Moto 2. I grab a massive holeshot and I'm out front leading until....disaster strikes. Landed a double went to gas it for the next double and nothing. I'm thinking did my bike somehow kick down into neuatral? I click down into first and gas it and go nowhere. I costed over the double and then my bike starting hopping. This is what happened. Photo

Yes it's a Tusk hub. Yes I torqued my sprocket bolts to Yamaha spec and used red Loctite as well. Maybe it was negligence on my part and not double checking the torque on them every so often. Just put them on in April when I got new tires so I thought they'd be good for awhile. I'm just super lucky this happened on a landing and didn't result in a bad crash. Flame away fellow vitards

Blue Grip tips too, can't forget that.

How tight was that chain?

You said you tightened the bolts but the sprocket looks like it was running loose before letting go.
See the round out on the Hub?

From the looks of the stretched holes in the hub (all in the same direction) it almost looks as if the chain was too tight. I had my chain tight years ago and it snapped every link in the chain at the pin holes. If it was tight, then I'll say that is a bad ass case you have there on that engine.

The chain was a little on the loose side but I've seen people ride with them much worse then mine was. I was adjusting the chain after almost every ride this year and that had me curious. I didn't think I should have to adjust one that often. I can't remember what chain it was I'm thinking a oem type replacement DID.
But honestly what do you guys think caused this? I couldn't find any of the bolts anywhere. I was curious if the nut backed off any of them or something like that. I'm but sure what brand wheel to get next along with what sprocket to get. I guess I'll be checking every nut & bolt religiously from now on

October will make it 3 years for these hubs and this is my first issue. I honestly think tusk makes good products but some will argue and say there junk because there cheap

That's kinda what I thought but I know it was on the loose side last night. Maybe I've been running my tension too tight before?
