Manual Cam Chain Tensioners


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi Guys,

Sorry - another questions from me..... :-)

I have heard that the early GSXR's cam chain tensioner's were a little like plasticine, and it is good to upgrade to a manual one. Anyone have any experience with this? I am currently looking at getting an APE manual cct, but wondered if anyone had any advice on others that might be available?

Ape are ok, one minus point though is the o ring gets worn by the threads, so they can weep. A copper washer behind the locknut is a better alternative, means removing the rollpin to get the washer on though, but its not too tricky.
