First of all, to the best "toy forum" on the internet.

Secondly, sorry to read about the results of your accident. Sounds scary.

Thirdly, start simple and it sounds as if you have. When you lift the track, does it sag down quite a bit? It may be ratcheting (too loose) and producing the clunk sounds. Then maybe the chain.....just some easy things to inspect.

Awesome that you get out riding!But check your belt it might be as simple as a flat spot from parking brake being left on or track being stuck or froze!If not the belt check the bearings on the drivers and the cross shaft behind the secondary clutch.Raise it up and use a pry bar to wiggle the drivers at the front of the track and there should be no movement.If not that inspect the track for a break or tear in it.Hope it something simple!

If the speedo is not working you have a bearing problem
