No, I went to Puerto Penasco.

I'm not going to install that tensioner. It's not what I thought it was going to be. To eBay it goes!

 

4 years later, I actually installed this thing!

The first thing we did was to tighten the chain to an acceptable level.


Secured, prepped and ready for wrenching


We removed the wheel for easy access and we removed the stock chain guard as per the installation instructions


The stock tab cut easily and cleanly with a Sawzall


I retained the stock hardware just in case


I released the spring from the arm to ease test fitting


Still test fitting, checking the zirk clearance


Marked the holes


Measurements from the sprocket guard


Mine had a score mark that lined up with the bottom of the swing arm


Clearance from the bottom of the swing arm


Clearance between the chain and the zirk


Successfully installed!

And one of the first things I did after installation was get a small bamboo chute wedged between the nylon roller and the mounting bracket, which made it stop turning. I am going to destroy this piece in no time.
