Check out this bike
I saw this today in a forum,it's a CRF 450 07
but the 4 stroke engine is not the guilty,i wish it were
Some said that it was because the chain,i don't think so
What do you think?

WTF are you people talking about?
The chain has absolutely NO relationship to the spokes. PERIOD.
Granted, it is clearly too tight in that picture, but that could not possibly have had any effect on the spokes.
What have you people been smoking anyway?

Ok, I understand.
As a side note, even with the shock fully extended (which it does not appear to be), the chain should still not be that tight. The geometry does not change that much. It does a little, but not that much.

Loose spokes is the culprit but heres one for ya...
Chain is so incredibly tight that the rear swingarm is effectively locked with no movement, guy hits a 100 ft triple and the spokes are the first thing to give

If the motor can move the chain enough to get him to launch, a landing will be able to move the chain even more effectively.
I suppose the combination _could_ have done it...
But if things are that bad, how, as a rider, do you not know there is something wrong before you hit the jump?
Still not buyin it.

If that is the case, he is very lucky not to of sheared off the counter shaft or cracked the left side crankcase, or maybe he has but you can't see it.

The chain being too tight has nothing to do with spokes.
You have an axle before you get to the spokes.
Anyone know where I can get n ID-10-T form for the people here that think it's because the chain is too tight?
I want to file a complaint with the admin.
Clearly Robie rode this bike in the last Adalanto GP.
