just finished up installing 40 tooth w clamshell I took for a ride about a mile, ran good with the new pipe and airfilter. When I got close to home I wound it out and I heard a clunk clunk, pulled the clutch in cause I thought I threw the chain. Motor was still running so I killed it. It'll roll about 10' and then lock up got it home pulled sprocket cover no problem there it was getting dark so I didn't have a time to pull clutch cover. A buddy of mine had same problem with a 36 t he said it was a sheared key I think but I can't get ahold of him. Anybody have a similar problem? Suggestions welcome, motor is just broke in

Anybody have a trick for setting up your chain so you don't have to use the tensioner/roller I got lucky on my other bike I didn't have to mess with the bicycle chain. I put the 40T on another bike and I was trying to set it up with having to resize bicycle chain. I have a chainbreaker and lengths of chain for both sides.Does anyone have a good way of doing it? Or maybe one of the springloaded jobs off the sprocket cover?
Ya I checked out a couple of posts on the spring tensioner so that's out. The stock setup works good, I just want to run without it. Bike is a strandcruiser so I could set up the chain motor right on, and cut the pedal chain or run the tensioner on that side I guess. Why don't you like coasterbrakes? Mine are setup with a front disc the coaster is more like a emergency brake granted there's more service on them but with clamshell its not bad.
