Finally got out to try the Acerbis chain guide. Works like a dream. I had a call from he dealer to let me know the OEM had arrived! I will run the Acerbis for a while then take it off and fit to my old XT600.

It looks like the OEM chain guides are on perpetual back order in Oz. Has anyone grafted and after market guide to the swing arm?

The oem one I had ordered arrives today!

 

Mine is on! Seems to be good quality and easy to install. Price was more than it should be for what you get imo.

Hi to all.

 

¿Can anybody confirm if this guide reduces significatly the chain  hits and the related noise in off road conditions? ¿And what about with the tension mesurement? ¿Is neccesary to remove it to do that mesurement correctly?

 

Thanks.

Quick report on the Acerbis guide. It is a little noisy but it soon faded to the background. It is more robust than the OEM. With a little fabrication and fitting skills I can't see any reason why any guide can be fitted. You can personalise colours like Gary.

Just remember to take some careful centreline measurements so the chain isn't side loaded.

Any proof to that claim? The OEM one is built like a tank and solid, all these are made from the same Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene material, the weak point is in the mounting method, doesn't matter if it goes from plastic to steel to mount. They all mount on the same 2 wholes under the swingarm

The Acerbis is quite rigid whereas the oem is slightly flexible by comparison. The oem bolts to the swing arm with 2 bolts the same as the bracket I made for the Acerbic. The difference is the 3 bolts used to attach the Acerbis. The Yamaha has 2 in the same location

To rigid A design and you’ll damage the mounting points to the swing arm. Tread lightly with that.

These are less money than Yamaha brand, have good reviews, and offer replacement rub blocks.

For those that don't like the OEM chain guide this came through my email today.

 

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn BRP Chain Guide & Mounting Bracket

We have a Chain Guide and Bracket for your Yamaha Tenere 700

 

I had one on my F800 for 8 years and it was top notch. It was off an earlier model Husaberg adapted to the BMW.

 

Even though I have an Acerbis fitted I might buy one of these for a spare.

 

edit $60 postage to Australia is OTT! I will wait for a local supplier.

Fabricated a bracket from 25 x 25 x 6 aluminium angle. This is version 1. If it works OK I will fine tune a new bracket. It took me about 2 hours of fiddling last night and a bit of paint this morning. The holes drilled are all 6.5mm. The two where it mounts to the swing arm need to be carefully slotted to allow for alignment with the chain. There isn't much room but it will keep the chain running straight. I also had to carefully remove some plastic from adjacent to the mounting holes to get the angle to sit flat and snug.

 Test ride tomorrow.

Yep, still on and going strong. I have only done 4000km but all looks OK.

Looks like T7Rally have an Acerbis guide kit available. Looks just like the one I made! Maybe I should have applied for a patent.
