If not installed correctly, you could have problems.
Chain & sprockets are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace.
Your water pump and engine cases are another story all together.
Glad you two did not go down.
Be sure to have everything checked out before getting back on the road.
What area of town are you in?
There are a few really good shops that I could recommend as needed.

Like JDR said earlier... improper chain maintenance will also do it.
I have been known to break a chain or two myself.... it happens.

A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
Sorry to hear about your bike.

Do we really have to fight over who uses the back brake or not?
Do you have to argue over stupid pointless shit on the Internet?
