1. Remove Old Tensioner Use 8mm socket to remove the two bolts securing the stock cam chain tensioner. Pull out the old tensioner. Clean the area around the gasket thoroughly with a clean rag and cleaner. 2. Prepare New Tensioner Apply a thin coating of gasket sealer or grease to the new tensioner and gasket. Ensure the tensioner is oriented correctly (slit or tab facing down). 3. Install New Tensioner Carefully align and insert the new tensioner into place. Finger-tighten the bolts to start. Use the 4mm Allen wrench to tighten the bolts securely to around 6-8 lb-ft. 4. Adjust Tension Turn the adjustment bolt by hand until it just contacts the chain slider. Turn the engine over a few times to ensure the tensioner adjusts correctly: Option 1: Use a 17mm socket to manually rotate the engine. Option 2: Set the bike in gear and gently spin the rear wheel while the bike is propped up on a stand. Recheck the tension and make slight adjustments as necessary. 5. Final Adjustments Start the engine and listen for chain noise. Make fine adjustments to the tensioner if needed while the engine is running. 6. Check and Recheck After adjustment, ensure the engine runs smoothly with no chain noise. Verify the tension is correct after engine operation and fine-tune as necessary.

Its better than the newer models. Lighter weight and wider transmission ratio. I want one with a big bore. I hear the ultimate upgrade is to put the super sherpa transmission in it. Gives you an even higher 6th gear and a lower first.

Who ever designed this confusing contraption needs bitch slapped!

Your honesty about your blunder is appreciated. Lesson learned.😊✌🏾

Sweet! I have the same bike. Where are y’all riding at here?

Always point your tip on your petcock

Nice job

same thing happened to me!

Had to look up KZbin to find this out myself. Petcock = petrol stopcock. Thanks for clear instructions.

Thanks 😊 🙏 that was helpful 😀 👍 it happened to me

It’s not a “tap”, it’s a peacock. You wanting it to be called something else doesn’t change the fact that it’s proper name is “petcock”.

Thank you that was a great video how do you figure out that arrow you can't even see it but thank you it was great

you dont need to put tension on the chain before you take out the tensioner?!

I tried starting my new project for the first time today and felt like I wasn’t getting gas. I’m about to go recheck mine right now 😂👋🏾👋🏾

Thank. You. I haven't looked that closely at the petcock until tonight... when I ran out of gas...!

Legit did the same thing

Riding for 3 weeks like that?? You just go around the block and back? Crazy

you are not the only one

Thanks man!

Very Beautiful bike. Ride safe

oh my god....... thank you so so so so so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL This was me on Saturday

Direction say to go finger tight then back it off 1/8th of a turn.

Thank you for talking about this!! Nobody wanted to tell me this!

Thanks, I have be doing the same think on my Nighthawk.

Thank you vary much for your video. I didn't notice the arrow till you pointed it out. I was confused about which end of the tab was directional. I put on my glasses and there it was. You Rock. Yamaha TTR 90.

😂 same 😂

I have a Honda Valkyrie with the petcock reserve system and I honestly have no clue what the point is. Just let me have access to my full tank of gas without switching a nob around.

Yup think i need check mine. As i turned mine to reserve and bike was empty. I guess i had it on reserve already thinking it was on. !

Silliness

Thanks you just helped me with my new used 97 ATV. Now I know how to use the... I won't say the name 😂

Did exactly the same thing , hence why I’m watching you video 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you feel strongly about it, you can easily reverse this if your bike has two fuel hoses running from the tap as mine has. Just swap the hoses at the fuel tap. Easy. Otherwise a dot of paint on the longer ‘FROM HERE’ end of the fuel selector lever will serve as a reminder.

Lmao love the video. I did not know that I told my brother thebother way

I assumed you drained all your oil ahead of time?

About to mob the neighborhood on the mini this is exactly what I wanted to know. 5 miles out and no gas lol. Yes it seams ass backwards.

Editing out the slow spots would reduce this video to about 5 mins. of useful information. Thanks for showing the install.

Bro, u saved me on this one

it must have been developed here in Australia . Thanks for clearing that up .

I sympathy with you.

Yeah I ate the dirt today!i was pissed at myself! Forgot to turn the gas on! Cranked up fine

6:19 Its a guide

would this work on an '06 klx 250?

I could not watch your video because of your sinuses being so fuckn annoying disguisting

Tks for the video 2019 and u have helped me a lot in brasil , we dont have mechanical of klx250 here

I mistakenly left mine in the flow position on my Troy bilt 19HP tractor and ended up with a crankcase full of gas!! Changed it out and hopefully that will stop that.

tansiyoner icin orjinal yaydan daha yumuşak bir yay kullanarak bütün sorunu çözdüm. bir cok tansiyoner inceledim tansiyoner yayları yumuşak ancak kavasaki cok sert bunun yerine cekme gucu düşük olan ayni çapta ve normalden uzun bir yay kullandim. cunki orjinal yay gergiyi surekli acmak istiyor zincir de yuke bindiginde gergiyi kapatmak istiyor tam bu karsilasma noktasinda gerginin kilit sistemi devreye girip şak diye kilitliyor bu neden le biz belli devir araliginda bir anormal ses duyuyoruz. cozumu ise tansiyoneri açacak ama motor calistiginda tansiyoneri fren nontasinda tutacak bir yay lazim. ben bu yayi bir zimba makinasından sökerek aldim diger japon motorlarinin yay tansiyonu ile karşılaştırdık. birbirine yakin değerlerde oldugu icin makinama taktim ve artik tansiyoner sesi yok makina saat gibi calisiyor.

thanks for the info...:)

What exactly those roads are?

One would think they'd supply an ..o-ring..or gasket ..come on any quality item would ..so ...ill stick with the org....but not saying its bad but seriously ...no seal..no sale
