chain tensioner
« on: December 18, 2015, 06:55:10 pm »
Looking to buy a 1989 lt250r but it needs a chain tensioner.  I assume this refers to the timing chain tensioner not a drive chain tensioner.  But I can't find any parts? Can someone point me in the direction of a chain tensioner.  Ebay only has them for lt250ef

There is no timing chain on an 89 lt250r.the chain is adjusted on the swing arm.

There is the chain roller thing by the front of the swing arm?  Is that what you're talking about?

the lt250r is a 2stroke engine so there is no timing chain in the engine. if the drive wheels need a chain tensioner  it is the plate at the tail end of the swingarm with two bolts faceing the rear. you should see it missing in the picture as a hole measuring about 3" by 5".

how is the engine?

Yah like motoman said that chain roller on the frame is important to have here. but if you do have a lt250s quad sport that is a 4 stroke and has a timing chain. Post a few pictures so we can get a idea of your situation.

Didn't get this quad, it ended up being 4 stroke. Sorry to waste all of your time
