TOPIC:

anyone ever fitted a chain tensioner to a nord? mines on the loose side, for 2 up, and I was thinking about a spring loaded tensioner, fitted to the swingarm to take some of the slack off. and a scottoiler. and less road salt. and less snow

Hi NT
The chain should cut it's way thro' the snow without any bother like most off road type bikes the chain runs a little slack and has a guide underneath to keep the plot on track, there is a protector strip up and under the swing arm around its pivot to stop the chain cutting into it so should be no need of a roller tensioner

Chain tensioner? Scottoiler? Definitely sounds like yer keeping it..........;}

You don't need a chain tensioner, the cams are belt driven...............;}
