If A Component Fails - Honda CRF50F 2007 Owner's Manual

If a Component Fails

The drive chain, master link, brake lever or
pedal, control cables, and other components
can be damaged as you ride in dense brush or
over rocky terrain. Making a trailside repair
depends on how serious the damage is and
what tools and supplies you have with you.
If the drive chain comes off because the
master link clip gets knocked off, you may
be able to put the chain back on with a new
master link. However, if the chain breaks or
does other damage when it comes off, you
may not be able to make a trailside repair.
Taking Care of the Unexpected
If any component of the front brake system
is damaged, you may be able to ride
carefully back to your base using the rear
brake for slowing or stopping.
If you damage a throttle cable or other
critical component, your motorcycle may be
unsafe to ride. Carefully assess the damage
and make any repairs that you can. But if
there is any doubt, it's best to be
conservative and safe.
