how about a chain tensioner like this? We used to have these on all our desert racers.

looks like it will work how much is it . It is very close to the ones I used on the 750 honda trikes in Miami

Hey Lee....I put 11 gram wts in the CVT and what a diference on take offs and around town. It did take off the top end, did not GPS check but looks like just over 50 - 56 mph. But smooth and much less viberations.... Could mean we are just too high geared in the rear. I also tried of course the stock 14 grams, rough start offs and lots of vibrations, than the 11 and wow, but a little loss ontop end, so went half and halve and was not much better than stright 14's and vibrations back but top end was back in the 60's. Going to go see if I can get a set of 12s and she how she handles as the split weights really is not the way to go for directions. I will tell you on the 11's this thing is quick and strong around town and I may just leave her as is
as she is smooth take off and much less over all vibrations which tells me there is a mis match some were. Mine had 14 grm wts in it stock
