I thought I would Post this in Hopes it won't happen to you.
The chain guide that runs along the top & underneath your swingarm. toward your front sprocket
Should be throughly clean & inspected now & then...
to prevent what i witness Sun. @ The Apollo.
When your chain hit's this area(When Jumping) and dirt accumilates underneath, cutting effect occurs which in time eats the front pivot of the swingarm.
And it doesn't take long for it to happen , this was a 08 CRF450.
He notice this only because he had wore through the guide , it was hanging..then notice a hole had formed.
So, Keep your eye out for this.. to prevent a costly swingarm purchase.
