hey so i was planning on going riding this weekend but i changed the front sprocket for a smaller one. problem is now i got a crapload of slack in the chain. turns out the idiot that used to own it conveinently stripped the chain tensioners in the place where they needed to be so it worked for now. but now i need to tighten the chain up so i can go riding this weekend. any ideas of how to rig it up so it will at least work for now? thanks in advance
blaster chain tensioners???

been awhile since I've dealt with stock chain tensioner's but is there room to put a nut on the inside of the tensioner? So you'd have a nut on both sides of the tensioner to hold the bolt in place?
well the chain is suppose to have a certain amount of slack... i think its like an 1" 7/8 or something like that of play
that sucks... your only bet for right now may be to put the larger sprocket back on till you get it fixed
i am making a chain tensioner setup that mounts up to the swingarm and is a functioning roller and tensioner. pm me and we can talk business.
thats a good idea man!!!!I:II:II:I
or u could take them out and go to the hardware store and find matching bolts that would work
when i went back to my 13 tooth sprocket from the 14/40 sprocket and chain set-up i boght complete, i had to remove 2 links for it to work, so, imo, you do need to remove or add links when going up or down front sprocket sizes
