Hi kids, I was out riding today and landed froma small jump and this happened.

The chain is fairly new and I am wondering can I just put a new master link on it and be good to go or spring for a new chain?

Chain was adjusted to tight? I've also seen cracked case around drive shaft bearing from tight chain. Replace the stretched chain before you end up replacing engine cases from. It can also be from new chain riding over worn out sprockets.ALWAYS replace sprockets when replacing chain.
