Vitacci GTO chain tension adjuster snapped

dkf5087 · 06-01-2021, 10:57 PM

So, My chain broke at the master link two days after I got the bike. Got a new chain and put it on. It was loose so I loosened the rear wheel bolt, and used the adjuster to tighten the chain. Torqued down the rear wheel once I got the chain tight and went to snug up the adjusters annnnd the bolt snapped…. Crap! The adjuster on the chain side snapped and has just a small amount of the bolt sticking out of the swing arm. Any suggestions on how to fix it, or at this point should I just ride it to the shop and have it repaired there?

You are the only member that i know of that has that bike on hear. Post up some pictures and we might be able to help you find something that will match from another bike. More than likely you can probably remove the tensioner and replace the bolt Or you can contact the importer. They have been go on replying to questions I've asked about the GTO.

Thank you both for the responses. Rich-e, I do believe that’s it or it is darn close. I’ll have to look at it again to be sure.

Jerryhawak, I will post a picture and thanks for the info.
