hello chaps,has anybody had any problems with the chain tensioner/guide just behind the front sprocket ,mines a 07 xtx with 2000 miles and mine has fell t bits
now i bought a new one and when i tried t fit it ,it wouldntgo straight on,the gap between where the bolt goes in and the rubber chain guide wasnt big enough,so i got my son t sit on the bike which made the gap bigger and then fitted it,went for atest ride and after about 3 miles the new one fell t bits.
the tensioner is made up of 3 parts ,small metal inner tube,white plastic sleeve and like a spongy ring,ive had raising links fitted from 700 miles and just wondrin whether the extra height is reducing the gap between the tensioner and the rubber chain guide making the chain press harder on the tensioner and breaking it,ive also stiffened my rear shock a couple of notches about 100 miles ago (fat *******) any ideas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
