Didn't check tbh, but this looks like OE sprocket so likely 525

Wow. Seems a few chains have been snapping recently. Excuse my ignorance but how did it manage to take a chunk out on the opposite side of the engine case?

It's by the sight glass, which is LHS on mine...

Yes it's gen3, sight glass is on left side

GavD101 · Apr 9, 2021

Ah just realised it is a Gen 3.

I'm surprised the standard case saver didn't stop it. Very unlucky if it had it.

alex · Apr 9, 2021

Probably took it off along with the cover.
