hello to replace the tensioner, you have to poke the piston at top dead center (TDC). Thanks

Thanks Dave, I bought the DJH cam chain tensioner years ago for my 08 KTM and it has worked flawlessly. I have noticed a little more cam chain rattle lately and decided to readjust and came back to your excellent instructional video.

Read the Manual first! All the KTMs coming from production have no issues - why is that? I had to learn the hard way too: The KTM hydraulic tensioner has no issues if it is mounted following the instructions of the KTM-Workshop manual. It is vital to "activate" the overlaying ratchet mechanism properly to keep sufficient chain tension without oil pressure. If you don´t do this the ratchet doesnt work (like in your video) and can be pushed back. With the proper installation i had no issues in 5 years Enduro. This occasionally includes the motor is pushed reverse, when you get stalled in a steep uphill. Never ever any issues. After a Motor revision we failed proper installation. The first uphill stall and steering chain jumped over. Valves blocked the Motor, so i did not try to start it and pushed home, did the correct procedure and as a result - no issues. I propose to follow official instructions and benefit from a perfect control on chain tension regardless of wear and motor temperature.

Hi, How can you, how many turning need the tensioner during install? You just feel it?

Why do have to take the O-Ring out if its going right back into the slot in the motor?

My bike is a 01 only has 14k miles on it at about 12ki started noticing a rattling noise coming from the bike happens around 4.5k people say it's the cct but do they really give out that early? One morning i noticed clear fluid leaking out from the front should i replace the cam chain or the tensioner i have no clue

Would it be alright to put stp oil treatment + stop leak in my 2000 Honda foreman 450s

Decided to buy one 2.20 into the video

Let me see you loosen the bolt on the 1st cam tensioner. I needed a friggn Grenade to get that thing loose !

when setting tension on manual tensioner, does the cam have at TDC or does it matter

Hi sir just had a complete rebuild on my crf250r but ever since I've had trouble when I'm in fourth gear. Bike starts to rattle n shake feels like cam chain loose and rattling. I was wondering wat the best way to diagnose if this is beacause of cam chain. All the mechanics around here are useless n it's constantly costing me money to find no problems. Everything u Ve described in ur videos is what I'm experiencing

what is the work of tensioner in bike enjine plz explained it..

Hi Dave, I think this noise is due to a slack cam chain/ tensioner (Aprilia use a hydraulic tensioner). I would greatly appreciate your opinion.

Hi sir, what is the dial/gauge that is above the valves? Thanks in advance

Sorry to bother Sir ...How tight should the timing chain be

do you have these for newer KTMs? 2016 500 EXC?

Very good video. Thank you, sir.

I had difficulty understanding how to remount the cam chain tensioner on my Freewind, but you gave me the knowledge to go ahead. Thanks a lot for the video!

great video that explains a lot for me!!

Thank you very much for your video. I love smart people.

do you fo one for the 1290 superduke

I bought one and I am happy with it only comment I have is that it should be deliverd with the correct size allen key to adjust because I am from europe and din't have any that fit. I used a torx bit instead lol

do they make manual ones for a ktm 250xcf?

Excellent explanation, Gave me a better understanding how the newer CCTs work. I

finally, an introduction that's not, "So I started doing this 3 days ago and I thought I'd make video with misinformation". Thanks for sharing what you've learned throughout your life.

Just another viewer wanting to say "THAN YOU" for your time and video.

Quite a difference!! :)

Thank you very much for this video! :-) I learned quite a lot! :-)

Well damn you seem to know what you're talking about. I figured next you were gona say" so I built one myself that will never wear out" but you didn't. Oil well!

Manual adjustable is the way to go you just have to keep an eye on it every so often ..it wont ever retract

Very useful and easy to understand demonstration. This man beats some of the so-called tv 'personalities' by a mile. Thanks a million for posting this.

The over turning forces talked about here are only present at start-up and shut down. Inertia greatly reduces the influence of these forces at speed (rpm) and stiction is easily overcome at just a few RPM, valve/cam action becomes much more linear The chain is never being pushed after start-up it is only pulled and that includes deceleration. Think about pushing your car, it's much harder to get it moving than it is to keep it moving.

That bike sounds MEAN! What pipe do you have on it?

nice explanation..this explains how technology develops from a old simple mechanism.. by: mastermind zenith-ram

would that say that if the chain is not fastened correctly the valves are not correctly indstilled more. Can these things incur? if that is the case`? The valves may begin and tick? The engine can start and use oil?

Dave rocks!

This is an awesome information.. looks like manual would be the best, regardless the extra maintenance

This has to be one of the best videos in UA-cam one this subject. Definitely the most professional I have seen so far. Thank you so much for teaching us, sir!!

hmm in my opinion still the manual one is the best! both hydraulic and "automatic" is kinda maintenance free solution, if we see symptoms of wearing out we just swap them (kinda expensive solution)

Thanks Dave for everything you do for these KTM's so we can enjoy our bikes more!
