I’m curious to see if there may be something I can adapt to my now modified KZ900?
or even the concept that i could follow?

remember the bottom of the chain is where the slack is,the top run is the one with the torque on it.

I feel that if I run a little more chain slack, that it will cause less stress on everything. the extra slack causes the chain to drag, top, and bottom. Therefore I am looking for options.
I could just buy shorter shocks, but right now I am tiring to figure out what is the best, swing arm angle, and shock angle.
anyone know of an option, for the top chain slack, during decal?
How would u best setup the bottom roller? I’m thinking u would have the rollers bottom most position, just bellow a tight bottom chain line. Then the spring would bring up the slack from there?

mark,the atv dragracers have to use spring loaded tensioners to keep from throwing the chains on the stretched out swingarm bikes.they are typically for 520 chains but could be modified or have a custom roller built.
remember the bottom of the chain is where the slack is,the top run is the one with the torque on it.

This would be sooooo easy to make. all i need to find is the spring. any ideas are welcome.

i suggest you think a hydrolic piston controlling the tension of the chain.
