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.
No, not me...just fitted the originals along with my new chain & sprockets.
thasa damn good idea. i like it :thumbsup looks like ill be tryin that in the future. ill be sure to do a thread if i do ;)
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...
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.
