Title: Chain roller?
Post by: cochris on October 15, 2010, 06:37:38 PM
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.

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.
