chain tightener wrench?

[300rman]

does anyone know where i can get the wrench to tighten the chain on my 84 r for a reasonable price?

the and screwdriver method is going to break off the teeth soon, and i dont want to be fixin it.

If thats like the 86 (is it?) then shouldnt need a . If it turns hard, the carrier/swingarm might be rusted or full of dirt. I just loosen the clamps and use pliers handles- no force needed.

I remember finding a spanner wrench for my 85 R at www.cachehy.com once.

Is the preload ring (I dont know the real name of it) on the shock the same size as the axle bearing carrier adjuster?

i dont know, i cant go look at it :/. i would venture to say no.
but one of those 2 spanner wrenches is what i need, correct?

I'm sorry, your link didn't take me to any specific parts....??
I'm not sure what size wrench (mm's) the chain adjuster requires. And I don't know if the 84's are different sizes than the 85's.
I was only able to find a spanner wrench for the shock preloads, not the chain adjuster. I was hopin the preload ring would be the same size as the chain adjuster, then you would only have to buy one wrench for both.

I baught the Motion Pro shock spanner wrench and opened up the large end a little bit to accomadate the carrier. It worked really well on my 83 250R. OH and the method is why i have a new carrier the guy i baught it from used a drift and a large .....i had no teeth left

here is the spanner i baught

Ya, thats the one I was thinking of, havent tried it out yet though.
Basically you want a hook spanner wrench, but what size? I don't know.
Sears has some nice ones too, but like I said, never bought one and tried it.
I'm probably going to order the double sided motion pro one, along with just the little single side 3/8 inch spanner wrench for the shock since its such a tight fit, and I can put my 3/8 inch ratchet on there to adjust the preload.

Heres the 3/8 one I was talkin about.
