The story is I recently put new tires on, and a couple cosmetic items (belly pan and swing arm cover for shock). So I drive the bike to work a couple times riding moderately hard and a couple wheelie's here and there, no issue's. This morning I go to bring the front up by clutching it and I feel a pop with a audible noise from the rear. I try to give it some gas and the bike feels like I have broken teeth on the sprockets. I stop and take a look at the chain and it is very loose, and the sprockets have no damage from the 1 or 2 min. inspection on the side of a highway. I am only a mile or so from my house so I lightly drive it home, if I give it light throttle the bike is smooth and no bucking. The bucking I believe is from the chain having so much slack. The question is what can I look for that would cause the chain to suddenly gain so much slack? Axle was still locked in place up against the adjusters.
In a time crunch as I have my first track day Sunday and I am hoping to still make it as long as i do not need to order some part.
P.S. I also switched my rear shock back to OEM along with the plates.
