I have a Z 400 and I was going to order a manual one from http://www.hayabusazone.com/tensioner.html
hayabusazone

I was wondering if this is the one I need, and how do I install it?
How do I adjust it?
and how do I know when I need to re adjust it?
and any other info you have this is for a 03 Z 400 thanks a lot

 

why not just keep the one that is simple and easy to uea? The one that came with your machine go bad? I would stay with one like the stock one that adjusts itself.

 

Anyone else?

 

Please keep it coming.

put it on..then tighten it till it's tight..hmm...donno how tight though...till the chain doesn't chatter

 

You dont want to use the manual chain tensioner. i have the hybusa chain tensioner and i bent two titanium valves because it was to tight. So your better off going with the stock unit. Even yoshi told me the same thing.

 

If U want the manual tensioner because Ur cam chain has stretched, change that chain, don't try extending its life or U will have more probs then just the stretched chain. Like Murdr says I havn't heard of anyone who could exactly tell if the tensioner was too tight or not. I got my cam chain from Advantage Cycle for $60. It is a 3/4 heavy duty DID, don't get the 4/5 it rides on top of Ur guides on in them.
