how is the tool to keep tension between blades called?

Wrong oil to save next to no money..... and you just need to loosen the coolant reservoir to move out of the way. Replace the crush washer for the sakes of a tiny price and check the level when the bike is sat level. Don't give advice if you don't know what you're doing.....

Excellent tutorial.

Great video, Thank You!

If mine rattles when cold should I tighten it up a bit?

Got to be one of the worst aftermarket gimmicks produced.

Work great thank you ride safe brother 👍

Does this type of tensioner also fits the cp3 from 2022/2023?

Kerosene would be a much safer option for the paint and you can clean your whole bike with it even your chain also without any damage at all .

Why would you install a manual tensioner?

Can you send the link for the Honda oil filter removal tool?

how do you adjust it after 1 or 2 years

Do you did a great job on the video. Thanks !!

Far better to keep them clean in the first place

You will do massive damage to your motor if the chain can’t flex with higher rpm everyone thinks there a engineer,stupidity 😮

Why do you adjust the camshaft position for changing tensioner only.. i think you dont have to do that. you have to do when you changing camshaft chain becasue when you take it off the chain cam position will be changed..

too labor intensive, buy any reputable wheel cleaner and spray on before you rinse down the bike. let it sit for 15 minutes while the chemicals do their job. Than wash the bike thoroughly including a mitt for the wheels alone. Rinse off and 90% of your tire wheel be clean. Take a horsehair brush and clean the remaining 10% dirty areas - way less effort and using water/soap eliminates a lot of potential scratching from rock/debris.

Finding top dead center is absolutely necessary! For informational purposes if you don't find top dead center and you install a new cam chain tensioner your chain will not have the slack in it required to properly tighten it therefore you will end up throwing the timing of the bike off and blowing your motor ((always find top dead center first.))

What the differenze between original and manual tensioner? Where can I find both spare parts? I've a MT09 model year 2015- 2016, thanks!

Nicely done! Yes I know this is 2 years old but wanted to add some of my observations. As per APE, they recommend Moving the engine forward to check tension after the device is installed, so finding TDC was a step I skipped. Additionally, it is imperative to check the degree of play with the old cam tensioner in to understand the baseline where your ticking is occurring. Plus, if you install the manual device to were it contacts the cam structures and decide to move the engine forward (ie turn the crank CCW) the top chain will get severely tight and bottom severely loose -which is very very disconcerting. If I had to do it over again, Id hand tighten to the stop and lock the adjuster at that point, not back it off a half turn (for at that level its ticking and loose). In my case i removed the APE device and let the tension completely slack off (with a 3/8 socket extension as a brace) and reinstalled. The bike started but ticked away, and I then turned off the bike and tightened the adjuster 1/2 turn, relocked, and restarted. I did this process several times until the ticking completely disappeared. Anywho, happy riding!

The coolant bottle comes off with one bolt and requires a 10mm socket, don't force any thing. AND DONT START YOU'RE BIKE WITHOUT OIL. WOW. ITS GOOD PRACTICE 👍

Thank you sooo much, out of subject i found out this key is loose, waaay too lose i can almost turn it with my fingers, is it normal like that? i.ibb.co/FhwzCsm/engggg.jpg

Thank you!

OK...... I love these Vids of people who ignore there Mum and Dad........ SUGAR SOAP guy's.....Its as simple as that and it's cheaper and been around for YEARS...

Yrider, thank you for the video.

How to check the oil level on the Honda CBR 600rr 2004 model??

Good vid man but I would NEVER start up the engine with the crankcase 99% empty.... Bad Idea. Imo

So 2 questions. Why the first step? And do you have to drain any fluids for this procedure? Thanks! Great video.

Actually this is not really a good thing to tell people to do you're not supposed to scratch sand particles into your wheels or paint you should wet the bike spray some glue gun and then maybe use a light toothbrush or something like that

so how do you check the oil level......you mentioned checking it, but i didnt see you do it.

I changed mine, sounded good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHK7gp2IiJWEmNU Next day sounded like this, what the heck is going on? kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4HFm6amobSYiJY

I have a mt09 tracer 2015 can you provide the part number please ?

Did you block the oil passage since there is not hydraulic tensioner anymore?

I have a 2021 XSR 900 and the gold rims really shine until they get dirty...

Hello there! I have a ticking noise on my xsr 700, can be the chain tensioner? Thank you!

U should never spray directly on the rim. Because you don’t want any of that on the tire Tread

The method that i use is: I remove the old tensioner, and install the manual, and just hand tight the core as i turn the crankshaft, when i can't hand thight anymore and the crankshaft has done at least one revolution, i lock the nut on the cct. I diont think is necesary to turn back the tightness, because if you think about it... the oem tensioner what it does, its to apply tension as the shain stretches and doesnt turn back, so the idea is to simulate the same behavior.

Can I install it in tracer 700 2017- cp2 700 cc engine??

That’s the wrong oil bro 10w40 it’s the one do you Need 🥲

How long did it take to replace? My local shop wants to charge me 3 hours labour for what looks like a 30 mins job.

Take of the reservoir you need to clean around the filter for loose dirt before you take it off that can eazy fall in to the engine when you take filter off

Mad helpful thank you 🙏🏽
