Spring loaded chain tensioner
Hi there,
Just a thought has anyone thought of or even used a spring loaded tensioner on the Tenere? I was looking at my dirt bike today and I reckon it might be possible to do....... thoughts/comments appreciated

A few bikes had them..For some reason they went out of favor.. I surspect it was only really needed on bikes with a large gap between engine sprocket & swing arm pivot... After all the bigger that gap is the more free chain that is required.. Have a go..nothing to lose

What I have done... don't always do it...
put a tie down between the swing arm & rear rack..pull the rear down till the front sprocket/swing arm pivot / rear axle are in line.. adjust the chain at that point so theres only a little bit of play... when you let the tie down off... you can measure the play in the chain....
