Hi,
I have a '98 savage that I bought used a couple years ago. I don't put many miles on it, so the only maintenance I have done is change the oil. The bike currently has ~10,000 miles total.
Friday I got a flat (puncture) so I brought it into a local dealer to get a new rear tire put on. I just got a voicemail from the shop saying "We replaced your rear tire, but the problem is we can't tighten your drive belt. The drive sprocket is badly, badly worn, affecting the output shaft on the engine. Give us a call so we can talk about the options."
I'm not very mechanical, but I am wondering what this means, how it cold have happened, and how I could have been driving around with no apparent symptoms on something that is soo broken that they can't put my bike back together.
Does anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks!
