I broke the KLR yesterday

Well, the chain anyway. Was riding a local trail yesterday all of a sudden the bike had issues where it would bog down every few tire rotations. It was like a light switch, everything fine - then problem. Stop, get off the bike, and I see that the chain is sitting up in top of the sprocket for a few teeth and pulled the chain 1 tooth tighter. That threw me into limp home (12 miles) mode. I loosened the chain so it didnt over tighten and fuck anything else up, made it 2 miles to my house then the chain slipped off. Put it back on and went into super limp home mode
