I was working on my new blaster today. I found some nice chain rollers at RMA with bearings. Anyhow the top one went on just fine. When I removed the lower roller I noticed that the stud was messed up. A previous owner must have ran it with the lower roller missing and chain running under the stud. Needless to say the stud was cut into. Is there a way to but another stud on or don't worry about it and put the old roller on? Well I have a spare expensive roller for the top again when that one blows up. Have a good weekend everyone.
Chain roller stud messed up (What to do?)
- Thread starter Blaster72
- Start date
when u adjust the chain u should get 1" play on the chain with the rider sitting on the bike this find but i have the same problem with my blaster if i can weld or bolt a new 1 on and get a roller thats made of hard rubber
I wanted an upgrade from the stock roller, so I bought the 44m Alba chain roller off of ebay.
To install:
I cut the stock stud flush to the frame using a hacksaw blade.
Then I installed the Alba ball bearing roller using the bolt and nut provided. The bold threaded onto the remaining threaded stud (that was cut off) left in the frame.
If the threads get messed up, then just drill them out and you'll still be fine with just the nut.
Good luck!

The brand I purchased was T.M. Designworks. It says to cut the stud down to the frame if it is damaged. I assume that I will need to get a longer bolt and a tap for the frame. I was a little confused so left it for later. Hope someone can shed some light on the subject.
thats correct, cut the studs of, the the bolt goes thru and the frame already has a nut welded on, i then use the nut as a secong lockdown
and BTW.....32mm is the correct size , not 44mm < way too big, imo
east coast atv has dual bearing, very hard durable rollers, for like $10 each
stay away from the pretty see thru colors, they won't last a month
i run the upper and lower rollers from a yfz 450 like whats in the link, very easy to put on. just cut the stud off flush and drill out the hole where the stud was and use the bolt that comes with the roller thats it. the one in the link even comes with a dust cover to help keep dirt from getting in the bearings.
