The Dirt Tricks Timing Chain Tensioner is engineered to address the common issue of a slack timing chain in new 4-stroke engines. Models from 2008 onwards feature a timing chain tensioner that relies on engine oil pressure to generate force hydraulically. Unfortunately, the standard OEM parts exhibit significant defects that can result in the timing chain becoming slack, potentially leading to catastrophic engine damage.

The innovative solution from Dirt Tricks was conceived by the company's founder to offer a reliable and fail-safe alternative to the OEM tensioner. This aftermarket tensioner adeptly harnesses the oil pressure and incorporates a robust mechanical ratcheting system designed to prevent any collapse, ensuring consistent tension on the timing chain.

Dirt Tricks Cam Chain Tensioner:

  • Dirt Tricks Timing Chain Tensioner solves slack timing chain issues in 4-stroke engines after 2008.
  • OEM tensioners use engine oil pressure; known to fail and cause slack chains and engine damage.
  • Dirt Tricks' design features a mechanical ratcheting system for reliable tension and fail-safe operation.
  • Essential for 4-stroke motorcycle owners with engines making "ticking" sounds at idle to protect performance and extend engine life.


For owners of newer 4-stroke motorcycles experiencing a "ticking" sound at idle, the Dirt Tricks Timing Chain Tensioner is an essential upgrade to maintain engine performance and longevity.
