Idler sprocket bearing failed - bushing is seized into the bearing, sprocket is now cracked. Called LAP, no parts left in the EBR stock. Question is this: Is this idler sprocket really necessary? Talking to other racers - seems everyone used this sprocket set up.

Has anyone validated this? If so, where do I get a replacement? |

Contact Twin Motorcycles for chain tensioner replacement alternatives. I use Free Spirit chain tensioner but it looks like they do not sell it anymore. https://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp ?mc=1&cid=163&aid=2456&title=Buell-XB-chain-race-c onversion-kit If I would not be able to find the part I would design my own and ordered the part in machine chop.
