round chain guide

[dirtydownunder]

hey fellaz, I noticed my chain had a bit of slack and to closer inspection i saw that the round bigger middle chain guide looks to be flapping around, does this guide have a bearing in it thats broken or do they just flap and spin around ?.

 

 

 

thanx.

The stock one on the swingarm?

The one on the swing arm doesn't have any bearings at all. If it moves alot you might want to replace it. The stock one is pretty thin and I'm not a big fan of it so I bought an Cascade Chain slider from RMATV. Much thicker than stock and I would prefer that one because it helps guide the chain as well. The upper and lower rollers have bearings. I would suggest going aftermarket on those as well. I used the 'power lip' one from TMD. That one works pretty well. As for the top one...I've never seen any markings on it from the chain. Hope this helps.
