Aprilia rs125 chain and sprocket problems HELP!!!!?


i was riding my aprilia when my chain jumped off the sprocket i put it back on and pushed it home, it was very slack so i tightend the chain and pushed the bike to see if it stayed on. As i was pushing my bike the chain started gettin tighter
and wheel started locking up so i forced it around and it went normal as i continued pushing it the same thing happened, it seems like at a ceratin part of the rotation something is causing it to lock up. I assumed that it was my sprocket/chain ring as there are damaged and chipped teeth, is this likely to be the cause or is there more to it please help thanks

There is no damage to my chain just my sprocket i wasnt sure wheather there was sum sort of bearings behind the sprocket?

Really, replace both sprockets and the chain, it is a false economy to just replace one part and not the others. In future keep on top of lubing it and regularly check the tension (your owner's manual will specify the movement required).

EDIT: wanted to add that when you tension your chain make sure that the rear wheel is straight, some of the marked adjusters are hopelessly inaccurate so use two parallel planks.

You probably need to replace the bad sprocket(s) and chain.

You can replce just the chain, but the sprockets will end up eating the new chain too.

Read your owners manual!!! Do the maintenance!!!

It is too late now but the chain needs to be lubricated and adjusted often.

you need new chain AND sprockets. The chain has "stretched" and the sprockets are worn.

Do not ride it until you get NEW ones. You will get hurt or killed. As well as damage you bike.

Your chain is worn out. When chains wear they don't wear evenly and they develop tight spots. You need to replace both chain and sprockets. If you try and ride it in this condition there is a good chance the chain will snap, wrap around the gearbox sprocket and damaged the gearbox casing!

New sprockets and chain mate.

dude are you that dumb.
