The metal plate that holds the lower chain roller/guide has broken off the frame of my bike...
Is there someone who could measure it up so i can get a replacement plate welded on?
I would be very gratefull!! (my chain is now eating away at my exhaust pipe and centre stand...)

here you are.
Using raisers on a XTR will only work if you're using the original connecting arms that came with the XTX. If you're using the OTR one's than your chain tensioner guide will be distroyed, as well as the seal guard. Especially when doing jumps or stoppies when the rear wheel comes off the ground.

I used a roller bought by OTR, removed the bearings and fitted this into the genuine roller. Now the roller has got bearings so don't have to worry anymore about worn out rollers.
Changing the roller, just put the bike on its side and off you go ;)
The good thing about this you can now build your own custom chainguide bracket which should cause no problems anymore. Make it adjustable....

Ok thanks for all the pictures and info,this will make things much easier...
What do you mean by original connecting arms of the XTX?
If i make the bracket adjustable, can't i leave the OTR raisers on the bike without other adjustments?

if you make it adjustable than no problems with the OTR arms.

I am having the same problem got new one off OTR with bearings in it instead of the standard part and it dont seem to be working had it on about 2 days and already showing alot of wear ?

Bumping an old thread :rockwoot:

I found out today the XT 660 X I bougt is missing the lower tensioner. To be specific the whole metal part where it bolts onto snapped off. It did not have raised links by the way.

So have to figure out how to reconstruct a new tensioner and figured the easiest would be to just recreate the original and perhaps strengthen the base a bit. All I have to go by are the photo's here and it will get me a long way I think. Just wondering whether about a few more dimensions as the metal assembly is bent. Can anyone provide the red A (talking about the top line, sides should be 56 mm) and green B as shown in the picture? Thanks in advance!!!

I was thinking of attaching this pully from ebay. It has the same dimensions as the top tensioner and the added advantage of bearings + obviously costs f*** all :D
