    Your using all the chain guides and tensioner. That's a good thing. Without the chain tensioner when the chain whips off the sprocket she can crack the case where the clutch lever vertical shaft is. I seen it happen. Most of the used bikes I seen were missing these chain parts. Don't forget the up stop roller in the frame too. It's a 3/8" piece of nylon on a 6mm bolt. I've seen these replaced with a wheel.(roller). That tube welded on the frame is where it goes.

    I never got to ride the berg in the trails before the case cracked. It did feel good around the yard when I rode it. Different response power wise. They called it a 3 stroke. That little button we push to start it was awesome. Now decades later the e start is catching on in the 2T. The berg was a good bike till the dealer sabataged it.

    What do you mean by "Don't forget the up stop roller in the frame too. It's a 3/8" piece of nylon on a 6mm bolt. I've seen these replaced with a wheel.(roller). That tube welded on the frame is where it goes." What is the up stop roller?

    I call it a up stop roller because it eliminates / stops the chain from up traveling or slapping when we down shift. That little welded piece of tubing on the frame is often overlooked and vacant from having anything in it. With some pics if we look closely the 6mm bolt and the piece of nylon is there or it's a chain roller. In Other pics it's missing.

    Look at the pic. It's between the swing arm bolt and the output shaft. It's above in the middle on the frame.

    Here's a bike with the white roller. It's above the chain. Originally it's a nylon sleeve about 1/2" round. I believe this up stop limiter comes into play when the suspension is fully compressed. I think it keeps the chain at a proper angle so it feeds into the drive sprocket correctly. I purchased the nylon sleeve and bolt on eBay used.

    It's on every milk truck bike. It's missing on most of the bikes. It's a bearingless piece of nylon held on by a bolt. We talked about this before in a thread I got the pic from.

    the chain tensioner was missing as well as the top roller. I figured I'd get all new anyway and not mess around. I don't have the countershaft sprocket cover either.

    The chain cover protects the chain if it should come whipping off and cracking the case too. We must have all the chain guides and tensioner in place. Always make sure the chain is tensioned properly. The tentioner is very important on every bike.

    the countershaft cover is a waste of time, and just packs with mud and stones. most guys who ride these bikes leave them off as we wear motorcycle boots riding them.

    the reason they are always missing, is husky themselves put them on so few bikes.
