APE Manual Cam Chain Tensioner GSXR1000(03-08), GSXR750 (04-07), GSXR600 (04-07)

This single part has probably saved more motors from serious damage than any other part. Racers know that you cannot trust high performance engines to automatic cam chain adjusters. Easy to install, the manual tensioner can not back out allowing the cam chain to jump the sprockets as the auto adjusters have been known to do.

APE Manual cam chain tensioners are designed to replace the automatic and hydraulic tensioners on high performance enginesThe automatic adjusters can back to when the throttle is closed suddenly at high RPM. This allows the cams to go momentarily out of time, and can result in bent valves and/or serious engine damage. Hydraulic tensioners have a tendency to put too much tension on the chain guide under high RPM / high oil pressure conditions, resulting in premature wear.
