Generator chain tensioner - Got it thanks !
« on: October 28, 2012, 11:42:50 AM »
Now that I will able to keep my bike I will be looking for the tensioner for the generator chain. My guide is worn and it will not stay tightened so if you have one that is in good condition let me know how much and we'll see what we can do. Thanks

You still looking for this?  Is it that thing just in front of the clutch basket?

Yes I am. The guide on mine is worn. It is the lower piece that looks like the cam chain adjuster.
