Mk1 B12 cam chain tensioner spring


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

My cam chain was starting to rattle a bit , didn’t think it could be worn out at 47k miles, decided to fit a new spring,

got new genuine Suzuki spring 12833-26D10 , quite different to spring that I removed, it’s 7mm longer and the wire is a slightly thinner gauge,

anyone know if Suzuki upgraded this part at sometime ? 
just curious really, the new spring is fitted and seems to be an improvement on the one I removedIMG_1065.thumb.jpeg.05312ac344f86df66756b3fa3a6fbe2e.jpeg

Only one part number listed for that spring that I can find. Someone probably changed out the previous one at some point.

Yeah that’s what I thought, wonder why they might have done that,

the longer spring is the correct one

The new genuine Suzuki springs are indeed longer and thinner wire than the original items. I have fitted these new springs to Blandit 12, 1100 slabby and powerscreen engines :)
