[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 104094, member: 82"] I wonder if your issue is an axle bearing. If the chain case was low, the drive might have let a bearing run dry.... There is no reason why the 2 mile trip should have damaged anything, yet with working an area, you move back and forth, it will shake oil around, possibly lubricating things even if the oil level was low. Generally chains need replacing when they have stretched, you normally hear a clunk as they slap around on the chain case. If you lift the machine up, so the wheels are in the air, rotate a tyre and feel for any crunchy bits as it moves (it won't move much) Also try pushing the tyre in and out, if it clunks, i suspect bad bearings.
