Has anyone had a problem with the chain coming off. Was stuck in mud and chain came off this weekend and was wondering why the Tenere has no chainguide/guard and if anyone has fitted one.

Do mean chain guide to the back sprocket like on enduro and motocross bikes ?

Errr, funny you should mention that.....

Yes, that is what I mean. Peatbog, lets hear it, do you have a solution
I would also be interested to know if anyone else has had this problem.

there is a solution in progress - at the prototype stage. cant say any more than that at the moment partly cos i'm only really helping out with it (there's actually no more to tell until the testing is done).

Update? My chain climbed off the rear sprocket and cracked the engine a few weeks ago. The bike will be back on track next week and I would like to sort this out so that it doesn't happen again. Thinking about building something myself and would be interested to hear if someone have made a sucessful mod like this.

Thanks, nice to know there's something in the pipeline.

oooh regie i cant agree with you on the chain thing

a certain amount of free play is required,when the swing arm is mid stoke the chain is at it's tightest point,when the suspension is unloaded perhaps when man-handing the bike through rocks/ruts the chain is very easily derailed due to more freeplay [the new bmuu 450 does not suffer].though you are right a slack chain is just waiting to get at the paint!

a chain guide is definitely needed i take great care with my bike and its adjustments and have knocked the chain off on more than one occasion especially on wooded trails.

peatbog,when the guide is ready put me down for one!
