Motorcycle Chain Tensioners FAQ
Where is the best place to mount a chain tensioner on my frame?
The tensioner should always be mounted to press against the "return" or slack side of the chain (usually the bottom run). Position it where it has a clear path and won't interfere with any other parts as the wheel moves or the chain flexes.
Does the tensioner wheel or slider block wear out?
Yes, the wheel or slider is a wear item, just like your sprockets. It's designed to be in constant contact with the chain. We offer replacement components to ensure you can easily service your tensioner and keep it running smoothly for years.
How much tension should I apply? Is it possible for it to be too tight?
Yes, overtightening is just as bad as being too loose, as it creates drag and accelerates wear on your chain, sprockets, and bearings. The goal is to apply just enough pressure to control chain slap, not to eliminate all slack entirely.
