Hey there, I bought this 1983 125M years ago and it has been the most reliable machine ever... But a couple years ago (before I moved) one of my buddies was out on it and the chain snapped. Shortly after we put a new chain on it. Then the tensioner broke as well as the chain...not sure what exactly he did! Then I never had any time to work on it till last night!

So I put a new chain on it, and a new tensioner..however... it now doesn't move at all! I thought perhaps the chain was too tight.. so I loosened it up etc. But nothing.. Wheels off the ground or on the ground. One thing the machine always used to do was pop out of second gear. I sure hope thats enough information. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Or if anyone knows where I can find a shop manual for a 1983

Make sure your high & low gear switch is not in the midddle?

rdlsz24 pointed me to this one. it's for an 84-85, but i do believe they are basicly still the same.
