      Fairly important if you find your chain slackens

            @calum really? Seems to be genuine. Can't get them much cheaper from what I can find.

                @calum were the rollers from the Yamaha factory "grooved" like the one you linked or straight like the one I linked? Perhaps my existing isn't in desperate need if replacing.

                  @irongamer727 No, the OEM ones are flat.

                  But I dunno, seems a lot for some chain rollers if you ask me.

                      Good news! Found flat chain rollers in a local shop nearby. Will get them for sure. So much nicer than having to wait until April 20th if I ordered from eBay.

                        @irongamer727 the chain wears the roller to fit the chain perfectly

                            @irongamer727 yeah that’s pretty stupid dude 😉 why would you want to do that they’re only a few pounds and the wood would rot chip splinter and just not function properly I really don’t see an upside to using wood unless you do?

                              @declan it's harder than it seems to get a decent chain roller that doesn't include 3 weeks shipping.

                                      @declan and at that price I might as well buy OEM. Thinking about fabricating myself.
