I tried goin thru the Yamaha dealer yesterday and they want 34.75 a tensioner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna have to figure out something else...........

 

[Maim]

what it do? break the bolt holes off where it bolts on cyl?


we did a crude patch on one usin gear clamps to hold it in place around the cylinder. worked great till the valves dropped 3 weeks later.

O you must be thinking of something else im talking about that chain tensioner to keep my chain tight so i dont strip my sprocket on my tire..........................

Yamaha, I think the part you are looking for is a chain guide, not a tensioner.

Chain tension is adjusted by moving the rear axle forward or backwards, or removing/adding links to the chain.

yup like the man said. best to adjust it with your weight on the bike so it has proper tension.
