I've adjusted the chain so it's within 2 inches again but I'm loathed to move on with the sprocket looking bad, I've got the mrs on the back and long distances to cover, could do without the chain snapping and taking us both down, I'd never hear the end of it.
Problem is I'm in the states and no one has heard of a tenere, not even the yamaha dealers. No one can help me out with an after market as they're got no idea if it will fit properly. I've got the haynes with me so read out the sizes but they don't know if anything they find will bolt on correctly.
Anyone got any ideas........im thinking a specific set that is available in the states? I've found a renthal set in the uk but I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere at the moment and don't fancy waiting for it to arrive. If I can tell a garage a USA part they can have it tomorrow.
Any help would be hugely appreciated here.
Thanks,
Rhys

Metal shavings ? I would be checking youre not cutting through the top of youre swing arm . Would also check the little pully under the swing arm ....BUT i would mainly be looking at the sprocket carrier and see if the bearings have xollapsed in it which would reault in bits of metal and also a very slack chain .... and it seen that as quiet common on here
