Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted May 1, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted May 1, 2020 I have the LighTech chain adjusters on my GT, expensive but very high quality. I'm not a big fan of the cheap Chinese knock offs. 1 He who dies with the most toys wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted May 1, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted May 1, 2020 I looked up Lightech chain adjusters for you and this was listed for fitment. This Product Fits: Yamaha FJ-09 2015, 2016, 2017 FZ-09 2014, 2015, 2016 Tracer 900 2019 Tracer 900 GT 2019, 2020 XSR900 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 The 2017 and up MT09 isn't listed because they use that funky rear mud guard 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torinreality Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Thee swingarms aren't the same overall (due to length as already mentioned), but the axle adjusters are the same. I have adjusters off an XSR900 on my 2020 Tracer GT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was absolutely nothing to align to the measurement lines and numbers, they were useless. 3 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the ones in photo below. Scales match up on each side... and accurate within 1mm when wheels/sprockets are aligned. With these things... I trust, but always verify. There is also a margin of error on the swingarm marks. Edited May 2, 2020 by piotrek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
