Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Installation 

I’ve brought three of these from James for all our ZRX’s & categorically it’s the best value, most effective mod available. The engine is quieter, tighter and ever so slightly more polished through the rev range. Highly recommend - Stephen

I'Ve seen a few other videos on this subject and yours is the most concise, professional one for sure.

Brilliant & simple explanation of how to set this up, along with potential pitfalls. Just what i needed to know 👍

What a great video! I like how simple the explanation and the demonstrations were. I am going to switch to a manual cam chain tensioner on my 06' Busa soon. Thank you!

Great explanation on how much tension to put on the cam chain ! 👍

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.

Very informative video. Understandably explained. I will now convert to a manual tensioner.

Had a stock r6 tensioner fail when I closed the throttle quickly at high rpm. Bent four valves and could've been much worse. This is a great video and if the manual tensioner is adjusted in this manner, it will be a huge improvement over the stock tensioner. Thanks for this video.

Very good video James

Good job - Well done.

Nice video. Do you have one on using the slotted cam gears abs decreeing the cams for more performance?

thx. for the video, awsome.

Thank you!

thanks

Very informative video ! However I have a question according to what you said : "have to check the wear of the cam chain everytime we do a valve adjustment". But what frequence ? Some bikes need a valve adjustment every 16.000km and others all 24.000km I would like your answer on this. Also is your video specific for bikes on track or does open road bikes count ?

can you do a video about how to install a oem cam chain tensioner on a 2009 yamaha r1 !!!! or step by step , that will be nice thanks

Thx for the video. I hear a ratlling noise on my zx6r 2008 also when idling. Can it also be a cct issue?

Can you make the adjustment while the bike is running? Like walk it in until the rattle stops?

Had one on my 550kz 500ninja 900gpz ninja1000r and kz 750twin

"Periodically, every time you do a valve adjustment, just check the cam chain tensioner"... Wait what lol, that ain't just a periodic check every so often type of job haha.. Shops charge like $500 to do one, and that's mostly all labor cost. You're average joe would struggle to even do one lol, although possible it's advanced. He must be talking about racing crews and stuff, I guess they probably do valve checks periodically, idk though.

Noice!
