BTW. A little update on this. Before I say anything I want to clarify that I am only posting this so others can possibly learn from my slacking (haha that goes with the chain thing).
I put the wheel all the way back and decided that it is all I can really do.
Next day I went on my mary way to the docwong riding clinic. (Pretty sweet btw except it felt like it was bad carma day or something: 2 riders down but no one got hurt, another guy's monster decided to run on one cylinder after he put gas in it , and well... me).
I was riding in group 2 (intermediate?) and the pace was awesome, the roads were even better and I felt like the pace was perfect. Well going through one of the corners my procrastination came back to bite me in the ass. My chain came off at about 45-50 mph in the turn. I pull over and try to put it back on. All of a sudden I realize it is much shorter. I take off the front sprocket cover and find the chain badly jammed between the crank case, front sprocket and the clutch rod (the one right in front of the front sprocket). With some help (thanks alot guys) I get the chain loose and put it back on the rear sprocket. (Also at this time we learn of the two guys who went down a bit further ahead.) Anyways Everything seems fine but I notice that I am leaking oil... Not too bad but its still dripping. We decide to get to the nearest town. There I get a quart of oil and we meet up with the guy on the monster! He is apperantly having trouble of his own. To make a long story short I rode all the way back (at a VERY conservetive pace) to Fremont with my oil just dripping away. The worst part was that it was getting on the tires and obviosly making riding that much more dangerous. Also it was getting on the pipe and creating all this white smoke so all the cars around me looked at me like I am crazy and some pointed it out to me to which I just nodded signaling that I know about the problem.
Wow thats a bit long. Basically I got home and took a second look at the front sproket. Before I thought that the crank case was cracked when the chain came off. Now I learned that the transmission rod has been bent and that caused the oil to leak. BTW when I got home the oil went down from max to low but still acceptable level.
Anyways I hope the people that read this will learn from my mistakes. Now I need to replace the sprockets and chain + figure out the transmission...
About that... Can I just bend it back or do I have to replace it? Can I replace just the rod? I would really hate to find out I have to invest in a new transmission or something along those lines.
Thanks everyone for your help.
