Hi all,
Anyone ever tried an aftermarket chain tensioner w/ a roller on a Steamer. Mine's a 97. Just wondering if one of those spring loaded ones would be better than the solid stock mount. Perhaps would save needing a team to adjust the chain properly?

Any thoughts, ideas, or advice would be great :idea:

Thanks.

You used to be able to get such things for mountain bikes, which was ideal as the length of chain is always changing owing to the gear system, but I didn't know you could get something similar for a motorbike.  I suspect it would be subject to some pretty high loadings at times...
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Still looking into it, using the bigger KTM's, Suzuki's, and such for a guide. Not much luck yet, but haven't put a bunch of effort in either. Will keep you informed if I find anything. New ideas, thoughts are welcome.
