[email protected] Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 I was about to buy it and realized i could ask you all on your opinion . Im a +8 swinger and well the chain length can be a bitch some times . was wondering if you think this would eliminate the issue of the long chain wobblin when u really nail the gas . http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-Bans...31729QQtcZphoto Quote
Big Blue Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 (edited) That is the purpose of it, keep tension on the chain with the longer swingers.Ill be using one when I get my bike back together. Also good for making up the little difference in chain lenght adjustment. Edited August 24, 2006 by Big Blue Quote
Polish Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 I saw those too...............they look trick!!..................let us know how they work out! Quote
dajogejr Posted August 24, 2006 Report Posted August 24, 2006 Yep...looks like it replaces the stationary lower roller... I'm only at +6 now, but...once I go 8 or 10...I've been thinking about this too... Let us know, Chase... Quote
BigRed350x Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 Looks cool, I might have to try one too! Quote

Big Blue Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 when i get the money i will buy one When I get a motor Ill buy one :biggrin: Quote
csrmel Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 that looks great for acceleration when the motor is pulling the top of the chain tight and the bottom of the chain has alot of slack, but what about when you decelerate? then the rear sprocket is pulling the top of the chain loose and the bottom of the chain tight. it seems to me that this tensioner would only work while you are accelerating. when you decelerate it would have no effect so i guess what im trying to say is i think its not a very usefull product.

[email protected] Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Posted August 31, 2006 i have video footage of me launching on asphalt and you can see the bottom half of the chain lookin like a fly fisherman . And overall that increase's my chance of a chain slip and a OH NO case break. Quote

Think about an automatic chain tensioner on a 4poke.... They work...regardless.... Whether you're on the gas (accelerating) or off it...right? Right now, there's no chain tensioner...just a upper and lower roller....as the suspension pivots. I think it's a great idea.... Quote
csrmel Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 on a 4 stroke, like my car for example, the tensioner is hydraulic and to top it off, its got a 1 way clicker so that it can never loosen, only tighten. i still dont see how this would keep the chain tight on deceleration if theres no hydraulics or 1 way clickers involved.

[email protected] Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Posted August 31, 2006 fuck it , i got one used for 30 bucks shipped , tell me how i can go wrong at that price .... Quote
dajogejr Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 fuck it , i got one used for 30 bucks shipped , tell me how i can go wrong at that price .... Let us know how it works out chase, before I have to call a scientific symposium to figure the angle of the dangle....and so on... At the very least, it is as good as the stock roller...and I'm sure it can't hurt.... Quote
[email protected] Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Posted August 31, 2006 my stock rollers got ripped off from having the extended swinger . will post how she works Quote
