What do you do you do if your motorcycle chain snaps while riding on the highway?

Use both of your brakes to slow down, and finally pull over.

In this case:

First, relax.

The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.

On an empty road, much easier if it’s some kind of rough road. Some dust, rubble, or even sand could make the practice easier. Actually, sand would make it hard if you don’t have enough power.

Yes, lock it up.

And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.

Relax.

The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.

You can only do this up to 20km/h. Anything faster than that, you’re just calling for another more fatal accident. But hey, I’m not saying it’s impossible.

On varying speeds, start with 10 km/h. Purposely lock up your rear wheel.

Focus your gaze up ahead, look as straight as you can. There’s no point in looking at your skidding tire. You can check your mirrors, but the action of skidding itself is warning enough for the other people following you. Unless they are blind, then you’re dead.

This could be tiring, but it’s doable. And you need to have a strong leg.
