Chain tensioner

Can anyone explain how I f*cked this one up? Left side, after first 3 km ride this year. :'( New chain installed during winter, maybe f*cked up the rear wheel alignment? Nothing else thankfully broke. Hopefully my local dealer has a spare. I'm sick and tired of driving a car.

I don't think you could do that by bad wheel alignment. Maybe you hit it by backing into a wall that you hadn't noticed :eek .
Maybe should have gone to spec savers :evil .

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

So the more I think about it, the more it has to be me f*cking up the alignment. :\ Guess I gotta learn everything the hard way. :lol (09-04-13, 08:39 PM)darrsi link Wrote: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/28-DAY-GTEE-YA...19d2598d70Next best option, if I can't get them fast from somewhere hereabouts. Thanks! (09-04-13, 08:42 PM)red98 link Wrote: could you just replace the threaded part ? save a few quid and readily availableNot likely. The thread seems to be a bolt that has been embedded in the cast. And I wouldn't feel safe knowing I'd welded a new thread on.

The Finnish importer has a spare in stock, so I'll hopefully be getting it before the weekend. I think I might try and straighten it out today on a vice, just to get the Menace on the road again. Aye it's a nice T-Cat (my mate's), but still way inferior to a Fazer!

You could also put a few nuts on there put a metal plate on either side and compress against the nuts. That way the thread shouldn't get damaged.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

Locknuts are standard M8 course series nuts. i.e. 8mm dia x 1.25mm pitch thread.
Got the spare part today. Fitted it on, no problems. While I'm sitting on the ground wrestling the axle into place, I noticed a very small leakage on the rear brake pedal. Take a smell of it, it's petrol.
FUCK! Tank is leaking. :groan Sand the paint off, find a couple of tiny spots and one small hole. I hope plastic padding work's as a temporary fix. Gotta look into getting a replacement tank this summer. :'( EDIT: Recommendations for sealant? |
