Camchain tensioner KT1100
The oem stock tensoiner is spring loaded so that it is maintance free, the disadvantage with this compromise is that it can back off if used in a race engine or the engine is used aggressively such as a track day or on the drag strip. Stock tensioners also preload the camchain and tensoiner wheels, this results in accelerated wear. This is why most race/trackday bikes have the manual billet tensoiner fitted, it can not back off and so reliability is not an issue, another reason engine tuners fit this piece is because it does not preload the chain and so friction/wear is reduced, and power is increased.
Price: £42.25 (Excluding: VAT at 20%)
